Effector SDE4580 targets the citrus vesicle trafficking regulator CsPRA1E to mediate Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus pathogenesis
Huanglongbing (HLB), primarily induced by the phloem-restricted bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), poses a significant threaten to citrus production worldwide. CLas deploys Sec-dependent effectors (SDEs) to manipulate host cellular processes, yet the underlying virulence mechanisms remain incompletel...
