A pathogen α-L-arabinofuranosidase degrades host-derived immunogenic oligosaccharides to suppress plant immunity
Plant cell wall fragments released during pathogen attack can act as signalling molecules that trigger immune responses. Successful pathogens have potentially evolved diverse strategies to evade host recognition, including minimizing the accumulation of cell wall-derived elicitors. However, the mechanisms underlying this process remain largely unknown. Here, we characterized ZtGH54, an…
