Following are certain strategies used by pathogen to attack over the host plant that describe plant-pathogen interactions:
I II
A. Necrotrophic pathogens i) most of the plant tissue remains alive and only minimal cell damage can be observed, as the pathogens feed on substrates provided by their host
B. Biotrophic pathogens ii) In which the host cells are kept alive as described for biotrophic Pathogens and followed by a necrotrophic stage, in which the pathogens can cause extensive tissue damage
C. Hemibiotrophic pathogens iii) attack their host by secreting cell wall–degrading enzymes or toxins, which eventually kill the affected plant cells, leading to extensive tissue maceration. This dead tissue is then colonized by the pathogens and serves as a food source

Some given facts regarding effector molecules such as;
a) HC-toxin-induced plasma membrane hyperpolarization in guard cells causes massive K+ uptake and permanent stomatal opening
b) Xanthomonas, are proteins that target the plant cell nucleus and causes change in gene expression, called transcription activator-like (TAL) effectors bind to the host plant DNA and activate the expression of genes
c) Fusicoccin, a cyclic peptide, acts on the enzyme histone deacetylase in the nucleus, and may have a compromising effect on the expression of genes involved in defense
d) Gibberellins accelerate growth, resulting in bigger plants when compared with uninfested plants. The gibberellins produced by the fungi are identical to those produced endogenously by the plant
