The root‐invading pathogen Fusarium oxysporum targets pattern‐triggered immunity using both cytoplasmic and apoplastic effectors

What is it about?

Soil-borne vascular plant pathogens are a critical threat for agriculture, yet we have a poor understanding of how they cause disease. We show for the first time, that these pathogens can compromise the function of extracellular immune receptors, making the plant blind to the invader.
