Trichoderma elicitor CP3 induces phosphorylation and nuclear export of SRP to enhance tomato resistance to gray mold.
Beneficial Trichoderma fungi enhance plant immunity, but the molecular mechanisms of elicitor-mediated immune priming are still not well defined. Here, we identified a cerato-platanin (CP) family elicitor, CP3, from T. asperellum that enhances tomato resistance to Botrytis cinerea. CP3 is secreted and localizes to the...
