The Arabidopsis effector-triggered immunity landscape is conserved in oilseed crops.

ABSTRACT: The bacterial phytopathogen Pseudomonas syringae causes disease on a wide array of plants, including the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and its agronomically important relatives in the Brassicaceae family. To cause disease, P. syringae delivers effector proteins into plant cells through a type III secretion system. In response, plant nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat proteins recognize specific effectors and mount effector-triggered immunity (ETI). While ETI is pervasive across A. thaliana, with at least 19 families of P. syringae effectors recognized in this model species, the ETI landscapes of crop species have yet to be systematically studied. Here, we investigated the conservation of the A. thaliana ETI landscape in two closely related oilseed crops, Brassica napus (canola) and
