Recent findings demonstrate that cytoplasmic effectors from fungal and oomycete pathogens enter plant cells via clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME). This raises several questions: Does effector secretion pathway facilitate host uptake? How is CME triggered in host cells? How are the effectors released from endosomal compartments to reach diverse subcellular destinations?
