Big Genes, Small Effectors: Pea Aphid Cassette Effector Families Composed From Miniature Exons

Aphids secrete proteins from their stylets that evidence indicates function similar to pathogen effectors for virulence. Here, we describe two small candidate effector gene families of the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum, that share highly conserved secretory signal peptide coding regions and diverge...
