Wheat is one of the primary staple foods throughout the planet. Significant yield gains in
wheat production over the past 40 years have resulted in a steady balance of supply versus …

Plant diseases caused by necrotrophic fungal pathogens result in large economic losses in
field crop production worldwide. Effectors are important players of plant-pathogen interaction …

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

The genus Colletotrichum includes important plant pathogens, endophytes, saprobes and
human pathogens. Even though the polyphasic approach has facilitatedColletotrichum …

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

Pathogens secrete effector proteins and many operate inside plant cells to enable infection.
Some effectors have been found to enter subcellular compartments by mimicking host …

Fusarium head blight (FHB) is one of the main fungal diseases of grain crops such as wheat,
barley and maize. The FHB species complex produces mycotoxins that cause quality and …

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 …

With> 7000 species the order of rust fungi has a disproportionately large impact on
agriculture, horticulture, forestry and foreign ecosystems. The infectious spores are typically …

Race-specific resistance genes protect the global wheat crop from stem rust disease caused
by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) but are often overcome owing to evolution of new …
