The effector-triggered immunity landscape of tomato against Pseudomonas syringae.

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is one of the world's most important food crops, and as such, its production needs to be protected from infectious diseases that can significantly reduce yield and quality. Here, we survey the effector-triggered immunity (ETI) landscape of tomato against the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae. We perform comprehensive ETI screens in five cultivated tomato varieties and two wild relatives, as well as an immunodiversity screen on a collection of 149 tomato varieties that includes both wild and cultivated varieties.
