摘要
Plant pathogens deliver effector proteins into the plant cell to cause disease. Recently, Nomura et al. discovered that the AvrE family of effectors serve as water channels to release water into the apoplast, causing a phenomenon known as 'water soaking'. A chemical called PAMAM G1 blocks these channels and prevents disease symptoms.
