Interfamily transfer of a plant pattern-recognition receptor confers broad-spectrum bacterial resistance
Séverine Lacombe,Séverine Lacombe,Alejandra Rougon-Cardoso,Alejandra Rougon-Cardoso,Emma Sherwood,Emma Sherwood,Nemo Peeters,Douglas Dahlbeck,H. Peter van Esse,Matthew Smoker,Ghanasyam Rallapalli,Bart P. H. J. Thomma,Brian J. Staskawicz,Jonathan D. G. Jones,Cyril Zipfel +14 more
TL;DR: The results in controlled laboratory conditions suggest that heterologous expression of PAMP recognition systems could be used to engineer broad-spectrum disease resistance to important bacterial pathogens, potentially enabling more durable and sustainable resistance in the field.

A tomato cysteine protease required for Cf-2-dependent disease resistance and suppression of autonecrosis.
Julia Krüger,Colwyn M. Thomas,Colwyn M. Thomas,Catherine Golstein,Catherine Golstein,Mark S. Dixon,Mark S. Dixon,Matthew Smoker,Saijun Tang,Saijun Tang,Lonneke Mulder,Jonathan D. G. Jones +11 more
TL;DR: Genetic analysis shows Rcr3 is allelic to the L. pimpinellifolium Ne gene, which suppresses the Cf-2–dependent autonecrosis conditioned by its L. esculentum allele, ne (necrosis).

Ancient class of translocated oomycete effectors targets the host nucleus
Sebastian Schornack,Mireille van Damme,Tolga O. Bozkurt,Liliana M. Cano,Matthew Smoker,Marco Thines,Elodie Gaulin,Sophien Kamoun,Edgar Huitema +8 more
TL;DR: Oomycetes appear to have acquired the ability to translocate effector proteins inside plant cells relatively early in their evolution and before the emergence of haustoria, which further implicates the host nucleus as an important cellular compartment where the fate of plant–microbe interactions is determined.

Domain Swapping and Gene Shuffling Identify Sequences Required for Induction of an Avr-Dependent Hypersensitive Response by the Tomato Cf-4 and Cf-9 Proteins
TL;DR: Results demonstrate that sequence variation within the central LRRs of domain C1 and variation in LRR copy number in Cf-4 and Cf-9 play a major role in determining recognition specificity in these proteins.

Enhanced Bacterial Wilt Resistance in Potato Through Expression of Arabidopsis EFR and Introgression of Quantitative Resistance from Solanum commersonii.
Federico Boschi,Claudia Schvartzman,Sara Murchio,Virginia Ferreira,María Inés Siri,Guillermo A. Galván,Matthew Smoker,Lena Stransfeld,Cyril Zipfel,Francisco Vilaró,Marco Dalla-Rizza +10 more
TL;DR: Results show that the combination of heterologous expression of AtEFR with quantitative resistance introgressed from wild relatives is a promising strategy to develop BW resistance in potato.
