Effector-Mediated Suppression of Chitin-Triggered Immunity by <i>Magnaporthe oryzae</i> Is Necessary for Rice Blast Disease

Abstract Plants use pattern recognition receptors to defend themselves from microbial pathogens. These receptors recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and activate signaling pathways that lead to immunity. In rice (Oryza sativa), the chitin elicitor binding protein (CEBiP) recogni... View More
