Filamentous fungi constitute a large group of eukaryotic microorganisms that grow by
forming simple tube-like hyphae that are capable of differentiating into more-complex …

Biotrophic fungal plant pathogens establish an intimate relationship with their host to support
the infection process. Central to this strategy is the secretion of a range of protein effectors …

Many fungi and oomycete species are devasting plant pathogens. These eukaryotic
filamentous pathogens secrete effector proteins to facilitate plant infection. Fungi and …

Plant‐pathogenic fungi secrete effector proteins to facilitate infection. We describe extensive
improvements to EffectorP, the first machine learning classifier for fungal effector prediction …

The maize smut fungus Ustilago maydis is a model organism for elucidating host
colonization strategies of biotrophic fungi. Here, we performed an in depth transcriptional …

Filamentous pathogens, including fungi and oomycetes, pose major threats to global food
security. Crop pathogens cause damage by secreting effectors that manipulate the host to …

Effectors play a central role in determining the outcome of plant− pathogen interactions. As
key virulence proteins, effectors are collectively indispensable for disease development. By …

Plant‐pathogenic fungi are a significant threat to economic and food security worldwide.
Novel protection strategies are required and therefore it is critical we understand the …

To cause disease in maize, the biotrophic fungus Ustilago maydis secretes a large arsenal
of effector proteins. Here, we functionally characterize the repetitive effector Rsp3 (r epetitive …

Fusarium oxysporum is a well‐known soilborne plant pathogen that causes severe vascular
wilt in economically important crops worldwide. During the infection process, F. oxysporum …
