ABSTRACT
Phtheirospermum japonicum shows induced expression of PjPME and PjPMEI genes during haustoria development in rice and Arabidopsis with increased PME activity, which leads to the modulated cell wall during parasitism. Moreover, how PME and PMEI proteins interact and balance during haustoria development remains elusive.
