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 …

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 …

The aim of this review was to survey all fungal pathologists with an association with the
journal Molecular Plant Pathology and ask them to nominate which fungal pathogens they …

Live-cell imaging assisted by fluorescent markers has been fundamental to understanding
the focused secretory'warfare'that occurs between plants and biotrophic pathogens that feed …

Powdery mildew fungi are obligate biotrophic pathogens that only grow on living hosts and
cause damage in thousands of plant species. Despite their agronomical importance, little …

One of most important challenges in plant breeding is improving resistance to the plethora of
pathogens that threaten our crops. The ever-growing world population, changing pathogen …

The powdery mildew fungi (Erysiphaceae) are globally distributed plant pathogens with a
range of more than 10,000 plant hosts. In this review, we discuss the long‐and short‐term …

Fungal plant pathogens secrete effector molecules to establish disease on their hosts, and
plants in turn use immune receptors to try to intercept these effectors. The tomato immune …

It is accepted that most fungal avirulence genes encode virulence factors that are called
effectors. Most fungal effectors are secreted, cysteine-rich proteins, and a role in virulence …

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 …
