Pathogenic fungi have diverse growth lifestyles that support fungal colonization on plants.
Successful colonization and infection for all lifestyles depends upon the ability to modify …

Rust fungi (Pucciniales) are the largest group of plant pathogens and represent one of the
most devastating threats to agricultural crops worldwide. Despite the economic importance …

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

Chloroplasts are important for photosynthesis and for plant immunity against microbial
pathogens. Here we identify a haustorium-specific protein (Pst_12806) from the wheat stripe …

Rust fungi are devastating crop pathogens that deliver effector proteins into infected tissues
to modulate plant functions and promote parasitic growth. The genome of the poplar leaf rust …

Rust fungi (Pucciniales, Basidiomycota) are obligate biotrophic pathogens that cause rust
diseases in plants, inflicting severe damage to agricultural crops. Pucciniales possess the …

Fortunately, no fungus can cause disease on all plant species, and although some plant-
pathogenic fungi have quite a broad host range, most are highly limited in the range of plant …

Three members of the Puccinia genus, Puccinia triticina (Pt), P. striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst),
and P. graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt), cause the most common and often most significant foliar …

The interaction of fungal pathogens with their host requires a novel invading mechanism
and the presence of various virulence-associated components responsible for promoting the …

ABSTRACT A long-standing biological question is how evolution has shaped the genomic
architecture of dikaryotic fungi. To answer this, high-quality genomic resources that enable …
