ENZYMATIC OXIDATION OF GALACTURONIDES FROM PECTIN BREAKDOWN CONTRIBUTES TO STEALTH INFECTION BY OOMYCOTA PHYTOPATHOGENS

Enzymatic oxidation of galacturonides from pectin breakdown contributes to stealth infection by Oomycota phytopathogens

campicon.com Abstract Phytophthora phytopathogens from Oomycota cause devastating crop losses and threaten food security.However, Phytophthora secreted proteins that interact with plant-hosts remain underexplored.Here, auxiliary activity family 7 (AA7) enzymes from Ascomycota and Oomycota phytopathogens were shown to oxidise pectin-derived galactur
