ABSTRACT
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is one of the world's most important food crops, and as such, its production needs to be protected from infectious diseases that can significantly reduce yield and quality. Here, we survey the effector-triggered immunity (ETI) landscape of tomato against the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae. We perform comprehensive ETI screens in five cultivated tomato varieties and two wild relatives, as well as an immunodiversity screen on a collection of 149 tomato varieties that includes both wild and cultivated varieties. The screens reveal a tomato ETI landscape that is more limited than what was previously found in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. We also demonstrate that ETI eliciting effectors can protect tomato against P. syringae infection when the effector is delivered by a non-virulent strain either prior to or simultaneously with a virulent strain. Overall, our findings provide a snapshot of the ETI landscape of tomatoes and demonstrate that ETI can be used as a biocontrol treatment to protect crop plants.
