Background The ecological niche occupied by a fungal species, its pathogenicity and its
usefulness as a microbial cell factory to a large degree depends on its secretome. Protein …

Background Since the first fungal genome sequences became available, investigators have
been employing comparative genomics to understand how fungi have evolved to occupy …

Abstract Background The koji mold, Aspergillus oryzae is widely used for the production of
industrial enzymes due to its particularly high protein secretion capacity and ability to …

The steadily increasing number of sequenced fungal and oomycete genomes has enabled
detailed studies of how these eukaryotic microbes infect plants and cause devastating …

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

Fungal plant-pathogens promote infection of their hosts through the release of 'effectors'—a
broad class of cytotoxic or virulence-promoting molecules. Effectors may be recognised by …

The fungus Fusarium graminearum forms an intimate association with the host species
wheat whilst infecting the floral tissues at anthesis. During the prolonged latent period of …

Effector proteins are mostly secretory proteins that stimulate plant infection by manipulating
the host response. Identifying fungal effector proteins and understanding their function is of …

Fungi secrete an array of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes), reflecting their
specialized habitat-related substrate utilization. Despite its importance for fitness, enzyme …

The Dothideomycete fungus Mycosphaerella graminicola is the causal agent of Septoria
tritici blotch, a devastating disease of wheat leaves that causes dramatic decreases in yield …
