The review highlights the current state and prospects of research on the interaction in the pathosystem between plants and pathogens of various taxonomic groups (bacteria, phytoplasmas, and viruses) at the cellular, physiological-biochemical, and molecular-genetic levels. Attention is paid to the features and mechanisms of action of the most common virulence factors of these pathogens, namely: secretion systems and effector proteins secreted by them (in phytopathogenic bacteria and phytoplasmas), phytotoxins (in phytopathogenic bacteria). It is shown that unlike bacteria and phytoplasmas, different viruses do not have the same strategy for transporting nucleic acids and effector proteins into the chloroplast. In general, targeting and damaging the chloroplast is believed to be one of the key steps in successful both bacterial and viral infection. This is evidenced by the effector proteins found in bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens with N-terminal chloroplast localization domains, thanks to which these proteins are transported into the middle of the organelle, causing structural and functional changes. An unsolved question in this direction remains: whether the chloroplast is a target for effector proteins of phytoplasma or they are damaged due to plant metabolism reprogramming through the translocation of their effectors to the nucleus. Disturbances of plant metabolism at different levels of the organization due to the infectious effect of these pathogens are considered. The peculiarities of the plant defense mechanisms of the induced immune response, which are activated in the case of pathogen penetration, are briefly considered. In this regard, the regulatory function of phytohormones and other signaling molecules (H2O2, NO, Ca2+ ions) in the initiation of protective mechanisms is briefly considered. Attention is paid to the strategies of pathogens to interfere with the metabolism of the host plant and inhibit immunity, one of which is molecular mimicry (for example, functional analogs of signaling molecules). These and further studies in this direction are relevant for the development of new approaches to plant protection against a wide range of phytopathogens, in particular with the aim of creating strategies to protect chloroplasts from penetration and subsequent inhibition of the immune response by effector proteins. In this regard, the study of the regulatory mechanisms of the secretion system III (T3SS), the most widespread in bacteria, and the discovery of a group of compounds of different nature that are inhibitors of this system are described. A model is considered that involves the use of the T3SS system as a target for inhibiting bacterial pathogenesis. An in-depth study of regulatory systems, localization, transport mechanisms and molecular targets of virulence factors of phytopathogens of different taxonomic groups is also important in this sense. However, the creation of a new generation of protective models based on the results of these studies is an open question, since their verification and approval in field conditions is necessary to evaluate their effectiveness. Such studies are becoming increasingly relevant due to the lack of effective means to combat phytopathogens of various taxonomic groups, and in contrast to chemical protection means, which can cause mutational variability of phytopathogenic microorganisms.
