2009 celebrates the 25th anniversary of the cloning of a type III effector gene from a phytopathogenic bacterium, by Staskawicz, Dahlbeck and Keen.
In recognition of this discovery, the November issue of Molecular Plant Pathology is dedicated to a special issue focusing on secreted effectors from diverse plant pathogens, guest edited by Paul Birch, Robert W. Jackson and Mary Beth Mudgett.
The issue provides historical overviews, discusses significant advances made in elucidating effector function and provides an outlook for future developments in this area of intensive research.
