Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Deleting each of six GH7 genes impaired Verticillium virulence.
- Observation Each GH7 protein was confirmed to be secreted.
- Observation All GH7 proteins entered plant cells and localized in the cytoplasm.
- Observation GH7 proteins triggered hypersensitive cell death, reactive oxygen species burst and callose deposition independently of enzymatic activity.
- Intervention effect Disrupting SGT1 compromised GH7-triggered cell death.
- Intervention effect Disrupting NDR1 compromised GH7-triggered cell death.
- Intervention effect Disrupting EDS1 did not compromise GH7-triggered cell death.
- Mechanism The authors infer that GH7-triggered cell death partly depends on the SGT1-NDR1 pathway.
