Npl1 encodes a pectate lyase presumably involved in cell wall hydrolysis48, Nap1, Pir1, ArpC1 and SCARN encode proteins controlling actin rearrangement in root hairs via the SCAR/WAVE complex49, 50, 51, 52, and a putative E3 ubiquitin ligase encoded by Cerberus is also required for infection thread development53, 54. Here, DUSP11 is linked to infection.
