effector-biology
Effector biology is the study of proteins secreted by plant pathogens—such as fungi, oomycetes, and bacteria—that manipulate host plant cellular processes to promote infection and suppress immunity. Understanding how these effectors function and interact with plant targets is critical for deciphering the molecular arms race between pathogens and their hosts. This knowledge drives the development of disease-resistant crop varieties by identifying key plant immune components that pathogens exploit or that can be engineered to recognize and neutralize effector activity.
