Many devastating oomycete pathogens utilise effector proteins to enter plant cells and promote virulence. Effector proteins can manipulate plant processes to the advantage of the pathogen- they can alter the physiology, development and immune system of the host cell. One such effector is known as an RxLR effector. Evidence suggests that RxLR effectors are required for translocation into the plant cell. Preliminary evidence indicates that one oomycete species, Phytophthora pluvialis, could potentially have over 100 RxLR effector proteins. Phytophthora pluvialis is the causative agent of Red Needle Cast, a destructive disease of radiata pine and Douglas-fir. To understand the disease-causing mechanism of P. pluvialis, a radiata pine ...
