A sweet story from Phytophthora-soybean interaction

Trends Microbiol. 2023 Sep 26:S0966-842X(23)00265-2. doi: 10.1016/j.tim.2023.09.004. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPhytopathogenic microbes obtain nutrients from host plants to support their growth and metabolism. A recent study by Zhu et al. revealed that the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora sojae upregulates the activity of soybean trehalose 6-phosphate synthase 6 (GmTPS6) and increases trehalose accumulation (through an effector PsAvh413) to promote nutritional gain.PMID:37770374 | DOI:10.1016/j.tim.2023.09.004
