At different stages throughout their life cycle, plants often encounter several pathogenic
microbes that challenge plant growth and development. The sophisticated innate plant …

Fungi are a highly diverse group of heterotrophic eukaryotes characterized by the absence
of phagotrophy and the presence of a chitinous cell wall. While unicellular fungi are far from …

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

The taxonomy of the genus Colletotrichum has undergone tremendous changes over the
last decade, with over 200 species being currently recognised and species complexes being …

The fungal genus Armillaria contains necrotrophic pathogens and some of the largest
terrestrial organisms that cause tremendous losses in diverse ecosystems, yet how they …

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

Plants possess large arsenals of immune receptors capable of recognizing all pathogen
classes. To cause disease, pathogenic organisms must be able to overcome physical …

Abstract Knowledge of the relationships and thus the classification of fungi, has developed
rapidly with increasingly widespread use of molecular techniques, over the past 10–15 …

Abstract Genera of Phytopathogenic Fungi (GOPHY) is introduced as a new series of
publications in order to provide a stable platform for the taxonomy of phytopathogenic fungi …

Plants can be colonized by fungi that have adopted highly diverse lifestyles, ranging from
symbiotic to necrotrophic. Colonization is governed in all systems by hundreds of secreted …
