Abstract

Like many other pathogens, the obligate parasitic bacteria phytoplasmas reply on secreted effectors to cause diseases in their plant hosts. Huang et al. revealed that a phytoplasma effector degrades plant proteins independent of ubiquitination. Bypassing this degradation step makes Arabidopsis thaliana plants resistant to this parasite effector.
