Nevertheless, plant species survive and persist. This survival is due to multilayer immune functions that diminish destructive attacks by potential pathogens and improve the defense systems of the plants<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">1</xref></sup>. The first layer of defense is the recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), such as flagellin Flg22 and chitosan, by multiple pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) at the cell surface. This pattern recognition is usually associated with callose depositions, production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), activation of the miRNA pathway, a series of downstream signal transduction events, and expression of defense-related genes, all of which are termed PAMP-triggered immunity (PTI)<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">1</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref></sup>. Although PTI is prevalent in plants, preventing pathogenic invasion, these pathogens also possess the ability to secrete effectors to suppress the basal immune response<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">1</xref></sup>. As a typical example, the bacterial effector AvrPto physically interacts with plant FLS2, a receptor kinase recognized by Flg22, inhibiting the kinase activity of PRRs and suppressing host PTI<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">4</xref></sup>. In addition, plants have a group of specific disease resistance genes (R genes) in this defense response layer. R genes usually encode intracellular nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NB-LRR) proteins to detect and recognize pathogen-secreted proteins (effectors), leading to effector-triggered immunity (ETI)<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref></sup>. The strong recognition between effectors and R proteins usually results in the hypersensitive response (HR), a type of programmed cell death (PCD) that occurs at infection sites to prevent further expansion of pathogens.</p><p id="Par4">Plant chloroplasts are vital photosynthetic organelles that supply energy for the synthesis of sugar and generate defense signals for plant immunity, such as ROS, salicylic acid (SA), and nitrous oxide (NO)<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">7</xref></sup>. SA biosynthesis occurs mainly in chloroplasts, and SA acts as a key signaling molecule by mediating other hormone signaling pathways and systemic acquired resistance<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref></sup>. In addition, when organisms encounter biotic or abiotic stress, the chloroplasts serve as major sensors to communicate with other organelles, including the mitochondria, nucleus, and peroxisome<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref></sup>. The photosynthetic electron transport chain consists of photosystem II (PSII), photosystem I (PSI) and cytochrome (Cyt) b6/f components. Light energy is captured by the reaction center chlorophyll (Chl) P680 and transferred to PSI, which is accompanied by the production of ATP and NADPH, which are important for the functions of other organelles, metabolic reactions, and growth cycles. However, ROS, as byproducts in chloroplasts, are also critical and effective components for plant immunity. ROS not only block further colonization by pathogens but also act as signaling molecules to reprogram nuclear defense gene expression<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">11</xref></sup>. To weaken the function of chloroplasts, some pathogens directly target host chloroplasts, altering the thylakoid membrane structure and suppressing the production of defense signals, including SA, NO, and ROS<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref></sup>. Several studies have provided insight into chloroplast-targeting effectors from bacterial pathogens. In <italic>Pseudomonas syringae</italic>, HopI1 can form a complex with the plant protein Hsp70 and recruit cytosolic Hsp70 to chloroplasts to inhibit Hsp70 activity<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">14</xref></sup>. The bacterial effectors HopK1 and AvrRps4 also target chloroplasts, and disruption of the localization of these effectors to the chloroplast led to loss of virulence<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref></sup>. In biotrophic fungi, Mlp124111 and Mlp72983 from <italic>Melampsora larici</italic>-<italic>populina</italic> were identified as chloroplast-targeted effectors when expressed in <italic>A</italic>. <italic>thaliana</italic><sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">16</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR17">17</xref></sup>. However, their exact functions are not clear.

In addition to absorbing essential nutrients from the host<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR19">19</xref></sup>, haustoria are known to produce and release various effectors to suppress defense responses in obligate fungi<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR20">20</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR21">21</xref></sup>. However, due to the difficulties in transient expression in hexaploid wheat and the lack of a stable transformation system for <italic>Pst</italic>, functional analyses of the <italic>Pst</italic> effectors have been severely hindered. Recently, several approaches have been developed to characterize the functions of genes in rust fungi, including heterologous expression systems, host-induced gene silencing (HIGS), and the effector-to-host analyzer (Ethan)<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">22</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR23">23</xref></sup>. <italic>Pseudomonas</italic> strains have been important model systems for identification of the function of biotrophic pathogen effectors<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR23">23</xref></sup>.

However, the reduction in plant photosynthesis is disadvantageous to nutrient uptake for obligate biotrophic fungi. Therefore, we inferred that impairment of photosynthesis by Pst_12806 reduces plant resistance at the expense of nutrient uptake, likely because of a low demand for carbohydrates at the early infection stage with limited infectious hyphae (Fig. <xref rid="Fig8" ref-type="fig">8</xref>). As expected, when the pathogen is faced with fate determination, survival is a priority, which the pathogen accomplishes by avoiding triggering cell death at infection sites at the early stage (Fig. <xref rid="Fig8" ref-type="fig">8</xref>). At late infection stages, pathogens establish a parasitic relationship with the host plant, and uptake of nutrients from host cells is highly important for sustainable growth and pathogen development. In several plant–pathogen interactions, along with decreased photosynthesis at the infection sites, enhanced photosynthesis is detectable in tissues surrounding the infected areas<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR56">56</xref></sup>.
