For instance, the M. oryzae effector AvrPi-t manipulates plant immunity and facilitates pathogen infection by interacting with five key host proteins: the E3 ubiquitin ligases APIP6 and APIP10 [45,46], the bZIP transcription factor APIP5 [47], the nuclear porin-like protein APIP4 [48], and the potassium channel protein OsAKT1 [49]. Here, KCNQ5 is linked to infection.
