VdEIX3 orthologs form an EIX protein family distinct from previously known EIX proteins.
Verbatim
e0“VdEIX3 orthologs of other Verticillium pathogens also induce cell death in N. benthamiana, which form a new type of EIX protein family that is distinct from the known EIX proteins.”

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation A novel V. dahliae EIX-like protein VdEIX3 was identified with immunity-inducing activity in Nicotiana benthamiana.
- Intervention effect Purified VdEIX3 induces a strong oxidative burst in N. benthamiana.
- Intervention effect Purified VdEIX3 activates defense-related gene expression in N. benthamiana.
- Intervention effect Purified VdEIX3 increases N. benthamiana resistance against oomycete pathogens.
- Intervention effect Purified VdEIX3 increases N. benthamiana resistance against fungal pathogens.
- Intervention effect VdEIX3 orthologs from other Verticillium pathogens induce cell death in N. benthamiana.
- Mechanism NbEIX2 regulates perception of VdEIX3 in N. benthamiana.
- Recommendation The authors propose NbEIX2 as a potential transgenic breeding target for improved Verticillium wilt resistance.
