proteins, so - called
effectors, into plant cells via a specialised secretion system which works like a molecular syringe.

effector T cell responses
in vitro.
We have identified and characterized its
effector proteins, and reconstituted them
in synthetic endosomes capable of efficient membrane fusion, comparable to the purified organelles.
Science magazine heralded these transcription activator - like
effector nuclease

in 2000, Collmer and Martin have sought to tease apart the interactions between
effectors and plant defense
proteins, to understand how and when the plant's immune system responds.
Over evolutionary time, the bacterial and plant populations have engaged
in an arms race, where the bacteria evolve new
effector proteins to help them sneak
in, while the plant acquires new defense
proteins to uncover and respond to the attack.
In the second line of defense, the plant uses defense
proteins inside the cell to detect the bacterial
effectors and sound the alarm.
