Convergent Evolution of Pathogen Effectors toward Reactive Oxygen Species Signaling Networks in Plants

Microbial pathogens have evolved protein effectors to promote virulence and cause disease in host plants. Pathogen effectors delivered into plant cells suppress plant immune responses and modulate host metabolism to support the infection processes of pathogens. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) act as c...
