          Abstract

          Paradoxically, plant pathogens possess avirulence genes that render them avirulent in resistant hosts. In Cell Host & Microbe, Shan et al. (2008) show that the original role of the Pseudomonas syringae avirulence genes AvrPto and AvrPtoB is to target BAK1, a protein kinase important in hormone and innate immunity signaling.
