P. infestans AVR2 Accumulates around Haustoria and Colocalizes with the Perihaustorial-Localized Effector AVRblb2 in Planta.
(A)
P. infestans (red)–infected N. benthamiana cells preferentially accumulated transiently expressed GFP:AVR2 (green) around haustoria (arrowheads) when compared with the localization of GFP alone.
(B)
P. infestans–infected cells accumulated GFP:AVR2 and RFP:AVRblb2 at sites of haustorial penetration (arrowheads), illustrated by overlapping peaks of fluorescence intensity.
Pictures were taken at 4 DAI. Bars + 5 µm.
