The HopF family of Pseudomonas syringae type III secreted effectors

The HopF family of Pseudomonas syringae type III secreted effectors Timothy Lo, Noushin Koulena, Derek Seto, David S. Guttman, and Darrell Desveaux Abstract Pseudomonas syringae is a bacterial phytopathogen that utilizes the type III secretion system to inject effector proteins into plant host cells. Pseudomonas syringae can infect a wide range of plant hosts, including […]

Expanded type III effector recognition by the ZAR1 NLR protein using ZED1-related kinases

Expanded type III effector recognition by the ZAR1 NLR protein using ZED1-related kinases Derek Seto, Noushin Koulena, Timothy Lo, Alexandra Menna, David S. Guttman and Darrell Desveaux Abstract Nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat domain containing (NLR) proteins are sentinels of plant immunity that monitor host proteins for perturbations induced by pathogenic effector proteins. Here we show […]

Image-Based Quantification of Plant Immunity and Disease

Image-Based Quantification of Plant Immunity and Disease Bradley Laflamme, Maggie Middleton, Timothy Lo, Darrell Desveaux, and David S. Guttman Abstract Measuring the extent and severity of disease is a critical component of plant pathology research and crop breeding. Unfortunately, existing visual scoring systems are qualitative, subjective, and the results are difficult to transfer between research […]
