Abstract:
Oomycetes threaten food security, with RxLR effectors playing a key role in their pathogenesis by modulating host-pathogen signalling and suppressing plant immune responses. A growing body of research has elucidated how RxLR effectors manipulate plant immune responses to achieve successful infection. Despite progress, the correlation between the structure and function of oomycete RxLR effectors is not fully understood. This review consolidates existing knowledge on the structure-function relationships of resolved effectors, offering a framework to understand their mechanisms during host-pathogen interactions and proposing insights for engineering resistant crop varieties.
