It is accepted that most fungal avirulence genes encode virulence factors that are called
effectors. Most fungal effectors are secreted, cysteine-rich proteins, and a role in virulence …

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 …

Plant-associated organisms secrete proteins and other molecules to modulate plant defense
circuitry and enable colonization of plant tissue. Understanding the molecular function of …

To subvert rice (Oryza sativa) host defenses, the devastating ascomycete fungus pathogen
Magnaporthe oryzae produces a battery of effector molecules, including some with …

The pioneering research of Harold Flor on flax and the flax rust fungus culminated in his
gene‐for‐gene hypothesis. It took nearly 50 years before the first fungal avirulence (Avr) …

We sequenced and compared the genomes of the Dothideomycete fungal plant pathogens
Cladosporium fulvum (Cfu)(syn. Passalora fulva) and Dothistroma septosporum (Dse) that …

The wheat pathogen Stagonospora nodorum produces multiple necrotrophic effectors (also
called host-selective toxins) that promote disease by interacting with corresponding host …

LepR3, found in the B rassica napus cv 'S urpass 400', provides race‐specific resistance to
the fungal pathogen L eptosphaeria maculans, which was overcome after great devastation …

R gene-mediated host resistance against apoplastic fungal pathogens is not adequately
explained by the terms pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP)-triggered immunity …
