Exploiting crosstalk between growth and immunity in plants : the role of the <i>Phytophthora infestans</i> effector AVR2 in potato late blight
… with host targets to facilitate infection. AVR2 is one such effector, secreted by the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora infestans; the pathogen responsible for potato late blight. AVR2 interacts with a family of kelch-repeat containing phosphatases in potato, the BSLs, implicated in …

Investigation into the function of Pi17316, a novel effector protein from <i>Phytophthora infestans</i> that compromises plant immunity
… with VIK in order to suppress the INF1 and R2/Avr2 cell death pathways and to enhance P. infestans colonisation. VIK itself was shown to be a susceptibility factor, required for full P. infestans colonisation. Overexpression of StVIK results in the suppression of INF1 and R2/Avr2 responses and …

Transcriptomic studies of the early stages of potato infection by <i>Phytophthora infestans</i>
… from 12 hours post infection, including: Avr2, Avr3a, Avrblb1 (ipi01), Avrblb2, and the recently characterised RD2. Also of interest was that transcripts encoding a PAMP (CBEL) detected at 12 hours, were suppressed in the pathogen by 24 hours. Transcripts encoding 55 RxLR effectors were …

Investigation of the recognition and host target of the Phytophthora infestans effector PiAVR2
… target of the Phytophthora infestans effector PiAVR2 and the means by which this avirulence protein is recognised by the potato resistance protein, R2. Prior to this PhD, forward genetic studies identified three RXLR effector encoding genes within the AVR2 locus. By use of transient co-expression …
