This study shows the RXLR-EER motif directs RXLR effectors to an unconventional secretion pathway linked to extracellular vesicles in Phytophthora infestans.

This study identifies RiABP19, a Germin-like protein gene, as a key player in raspberry resistance to Phytophthora root rot through transcriptomic analysis and functional assays.

This study identifies PiMDP1 and PiMDP2 as molecular markers for extracellular vesicles in Phytophthora infestans, revealing their association with RxLR effectors and their role in infection.

The paper shows that RXLR and EER motifs in oomycete effectors are proteolytically processed before secretion, with cleavage sites constrained to specific positions.
