The Cyclophilin Effector TaCYPE1 From the Tomato Leaf Miner Tuta absoluta Suppresses Plant Immunity by Targeting Host RNA-Binding Proteins.
The leaf-mining insect Tuta absoluta is a highly destructive pest that deploys candidate effector proteins to modulate host defences; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying this manipulation remain poorly understood. In this study, we characterise TaCYPE1, a predicted secreted cyclophilin-like effector, and demon...
