Conserved glycoside hydrolase 12 proteins from kiwifruit soft rot pathogens trigger distinct immune signaling pathways in the non-host Nicotiana benthamiana and host kiwifruit

Glycoside hydrolase family 12 proteins are broadly distributed effectors in fungi and oomycete. Over the past decade, several microbial GH12 proteins have been identified as both virulence factors and microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs). However, the function and mechanism of GH12 proteins from postharvest...
