AvrPtoB: A bacterial type III effector that both elicits and suppresses programmed cell death associated with plant immunity
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 is a model pathogen for studying the molecular basis of plant immunity and disease susceptibility in tomato and Arabidopsis. DC3000 uses a type III secretion system to inject effector proteins into the plant cell. Type III effectors are thought to promote bacterial virulence by suppressing plant defenses and enhancing access to nutrients trapped in the plant cell. The AvrPtoB type III effector elicits immunity-associated programmed cell death (PCD) when expressed in tomato plants carrying the Pto resistance protein. However, in the absence of Pto, AvrPtoB functions to suppress PCD and immunity in tomato. Here, we review current research examining the molecular basis of AvrPtoB-mediated elicitation and suppression of plant PCD. In addition, the "trump model" is proposed to explain how resistance proteins successfully elicit immunity-associated PCD in response to effectors that suppress PCD.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
