    • Abstract:
      In I S. microdontum i , the ELI receptor was previously identified as the leucine-rich repeat (LRR)-RP ELICITIN RECEPTOR (ELR) ([5]). I Phytophthora i species secrete elicitins (ELIs), small proteins characterized by a conserved cysteine-rich elicitin domain, that function in sterol acquisition to promote I Phytophthora i growth, as well as related ELI-like proteins (ELLs) that have less conserved elicitin domains and divergent C-terminal extensions ([4]). Several Solanaceous plant species also perceive ELIs as PAMPs to induce PTI and cell death, including wild species of both potato ( I Solanum microdontum i ) and tobacco ( I Nicotiana benthamiana i ).
