Functional and proteomic characterization of Phytophthora nicotianae extracellular vesicles and putative cargo-sorting signals in filamentous pathogens

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid-bound structures that transport bioactive molecules and are increasingly recognized as key mediators of plant-pathogen interactions. Although EV secretion has been reported in filamentous pathogens, their roles in plant immunity, microbial interactions and cargo-sorting mechanis...
