Taxonomy: Cladosporium fulvum is an asexual fungus for which no sexual stage is currently
known. Molecular data, however, support C. fulvum as a member of the …

In this review, I recount my personal history. My drive to study host-pathogen interactions
was to find alternatives for agrochemicals, which was triggered after reading the book “Silent …

▪ Abstract Over the past 20 years, the interaction between the biotrophic fungal pathogen
Cladosporium fulvum and tomato has developed into a versatile experimental system for …

Leaf mould disease in tomato is caused by the biotrophic fungus Cladosporium fulvum. An
Ac/Ds targeted transposon tagging strategy was used to isolate the gene conferring …

The Cf-5 gene of tomato confers resistance to strains of the fungal pathogen Cladosporium
fulvum carrying the avirulence gene Avr5. Although Cf-5 has been cloned, Avr5 has …

Different tomato Cf resistance genes confer distinct abilities to restrict Cladosporium fulvum
infections. Measurements of fungal growth revealed that their relative efficiencies decreased …

During tomato leaf colonization, the biotrophic fungus Cladosporium fulvum secretes several
effector proteins into the apoplast. Eight effectors have previously been characterized and …

The interactions between plants and many biotrophic or hemibiotrophic pathogens are
controlled by receptor proteins in the host and effector proteins delivered by the pathogen …

RESULTS Isolation of the ecp1 gene. The ECPI protein was purified as previously described
(Joosten and De Wit 1988), and the sequence of the 36 N-terminal amino acids was …

Summary The tomato Cf‐4 and Cf‐9 genes confer resistance to the leaf mould pathogen
Cladosporium fulvum and map at a complex locus on the short arm of chromosome 1. It was …
