Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation The pathogen effector AVR2 interacts with potato BSL1.
- Observation Potato plants expressing AVR2 showed hallmarks of elevated brassinosteroid signaling.
- Observation AVR2 expressing potato plants showed enhanced susceptibility to P. infestans.
- Observation Identified potato BR-responsive marker genes were constitutively expressed at BR-induced levels in AVR2 lines.
- Observation One identified BR-responsive gene was designated StCHL1 and encoded a bHLH transcription factor.
- Intervention effect Transient expression of AVR2 or CHL1 compromised INF1-triggered immune cell death.
- Intervention effect CHL1 silencing reduced P. infestans colonization on Nicotiana benthamiana.
- Intervention effect Silencing NbCHL1 attenuated AVR2 suppression of INF1-triggered cell death.
