Identification of Pseudoperonospora cubensis RxLR Effector Genes via Genome Sequencing.

ABSTRACT: Pseudoperonospora cubensis is a significant phytopathogen causing downy mildew disease in cucurbit crops. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the interaction between P. cubensis and its host is essential for developing effective disease management strategies. RxLR effectors, secreted by pathogens, play a crucial role in modulating host immunity. In this study, we sequenced the genome of the P. cubensis isolate CNU-OTH and identified RxLR effector genes using bioinformatics tools. A total of 45 RxLR effector genes were identified from the genome of P. cubensis. Cloning and functional characterization of these effectors were performed through transient expression assays in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves. Subcellular localization of selected effe
