Understanding the plant immune system is crucial for using genetics to protect crops from
diseases. Plants resist pathogens via a two-tiered innate immune detection-and-response …

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a major crop that feeds 40% of the world's population.
Over the past several decades, advances in genomics have led to tremendous …

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

Elucidating the similarity and diversity of pathogen effectors is critical to understand their
evolution across fungal phytopathogens. However, rapid divergence that diminishes …

Animal and plant immune systems use intracellular nucleotide-binding oligomerization
domain (NOD)-like receptors (NLRs) to detect pathogens, resulting in the activation of …

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

Breeding wheat with durable resistance to the fungal pathogen Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici
(Pgt), a major threat to cereal production, is challenging due to the rapid evolution of …

Plants coordinately use cell‐surface and intracellular immune receptors to perceive
pathogens and mount an immune response. Intracellular events of pathogen recognition are …

Stem rust caused by the fungus Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) is a devastating disease
of the global staple crop wheat. Although this disease was largely controlled in the latter half …
