Of guards, decoys, baits and traps: pathogen perception in plants by type III effector sensors

Highlights • Type III effectors perturb host cellular components to promote pathogen virulence. • Perturbations of type III effector sensors induce effector-triggered immunity. • We provide a current, characteristic overview of plant type III effector sensors.
