From dansyl-modified biofilm disruptors to β-cyclodextrin-optimized multifunctional supramolecular nanovesicles: their improved treatment for plant bacterial diseases.

Background: Bacterial diseases caused by phytopathogenic Xanthomonas pose a significant threat to global agricultural production, causing substantial economic losses. Biofilm formation by these bacteria enhances their resistance to environmental stressors and chemical treatments, complicating disease control. The key to overcoming this challenge lies in the development of multifunctional green bactericides capable of effectively breaking down biofilm barriers, improving foliar deposition properties, and achieving the control of bacterial diseases.

Screening of Candidate Effectors from by In Vitro Secretomic Analysis.

is the causal agent of rice blast, one of the most serious diseases of rice worldwide. Secreted proteins play essential roles during a -rice interaction. Although much progress has been made in recent decades, it is still necessary to systematically explore -secreted proteins and to analyze their functions.

A novel elicitor MoVcpo is necessary for the virulence of and triggers rice defense responses.

Rice blast caused by is one of the most important diseases of rice. Elicitors secreted by play important roles in the interaction with rice to facilitate fungal infection and disease development. In recent years, several elicitor proteins have been identified in , and their functions and importance are increasingly appreciated.
