Fungal and oomycete pathogens secrete complex arrays of proteins and small RNAs to
interface with plant-host targets and manipulate plant regulatory networks to the microbes' …

Effectors are small, secreted molecules that mediate the establishment of interactions in
nature. While some concepts of effector biology have stood the test of time, this area of study …

Abstract Since 2005, the Pathogen–Host Interactions Database (PHI-base) has manually
curated experimentally verified pathogenicity, virulence and effector genes from fungal …

Phytopathogenic fungi secrete chitin deacetylase (CDA) to escape the host's immunological
defense during infection. Here, we showed that the deacetylation activity of CDA toward …

Effector proteins are central to the success of plant pathogens, while immunity in host plants
is driven by receptor‐mediated recognition of these effectors. Understanding the molecular …

Plant diseases are a constant and serious threat to agriculture and ecological biodiversity.
Plants possess a sophisticated innate immunity system capable of detecting and responding …

The constant battle of survival between pathogens and host plants has played a crucial role
in shaping the course of their co-evolution. However, the major determinants of the outcome …

Fungal effectors play a pivotal role in suppressing the host defence system, and their
evolution is highly dynamic. By comparative sequence analysis of plant‐pathogenic fungi …

Pathogens can pose challenges to plant growth and development at various stages of their
life cycle. Two interconnected defense strategies prevent the growth of pathogens in plants …

Plant pathogenic fungi encode and secrete effector proteins to promote pathogenesis. In
recent years, the important role of effector proteins in fungi and plant host interactions has …
