Allelic variants of the NLR protein Rpi-chc1 differentially recognise members of the Phytophthora infestans PexRD12/31 effector superfamily through the leucine-rich repeat domain

This study identifies allelic variants of the Rpi-chc1 gene that recognize distinct members of the PexRD12/31 effector family through the LRR domain, revealing co-evolutionary mechanisms in host-pathogen interactions.

The Rpi-mcq1 resistance gene family recognizes Avr2 of Phytophthora infestans but is distinct from R2

The paper identifies a new family of Rpi genes in Solanum species that recognize the same effector AVR2 as the R2 gene family, showing two distinct R protein families can target the same pathogen effector.

Host-interactor screens of Phytophthora infestans RXLR proteins reveal vesicle trafficking as a major effector-targeted process

This study identifies host processes targeted by Phytophthora infestans RXLR effectors through protein-protein interaction screens, revealing vesicle trafficking as a major effector-targeted process.

The Synchytrium endobioticum AvrSen1 triggers a Hypersensitive Response in Sen1 potatoes while natural variants evade detection

The paper identifies AvrSen1, an effector gene in Synchytrium endobioticum, which triggers a hypersensitive response in potato plants with the Sen1 resistance gene, while its absence in other pathotypes allows evasion of detection.

Tracking disease resistance deployment in potato breeding by enrichment sequencing

This paper introduces dRenSeq, a method to track disease resistance genes in potato breeding, enabling efficient validation and monitoring of resistance gene integrity.
