Abstract
Effector proteins of plant pathogens are key virulence determinants which can be secreted in the apoplast or translocated inside plant cells where they subvert host immunity and physiology to the pathogen's benefit In some specific plant accessions, effector proteins may also be detected by plant immune receptors and trigger strong specific resistance
