Nuclear transfer of a beneficial fungal effector-host target complex via the NTF2 pathway underpins symbiont-induced plant immunity.
This work shows that this functionally essential nuclear transfer process of the SIE141-CDSP32 complex is mediated by the host NTF2 proteins, and provides a potential strategy for engineering plant immunity by manipulating NTF2-RanGTPase dependent nucleocytoplasmic transport.
