TL;DR

Heterologous expression of AVR2 in Arabidopsis thaliana caused enhanced susceptibility towards Verticillium dahliae, a xylem-colonizing fungal pathogen, and in tomato, AVR2 expression resulted in plants with elongated internodes and smaller leaf angles resulting in upward pointing leaves.

Multiple faces of Fusarium oxysporum effector protein Avr2

It was found that ΔspAvr2 transgenic tomato plants were attenuated in pathogen-associated molecular pattern-triggered immunity (PTI): flg22-induced growth inhibition, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and callose deposition were all greatly alleviated in ΔspAvr2 plants.
