MINPP: a conserved salivary effector family diversified by gene duplication promotes insect feeding while activating plant defense.
BACKGROUND Insect salivary proteins play critical roles in modulating plant defenses and facilitating feeding, yet the evolutionary origins and functional mechanisms of most salivary effectors remain poorly understood. This study investigates the evolution and function of multiple inositol polyphosphate phosphatases (M...
