Rust fungi (Pucciniales) are the largest group of plant pathogens and represent one of the
most devastating threats to agricultural crops worldwide. Despite the economic importance …

Highlights•Plant-associated fungi and oomycetes deliver effector proteins into the
apoplast.•Effector proteins function to promote host colonization.•Many characterized …

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

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

Adapted plant pathogens from various microbial kingdoms produce hundreds of unrelated
small secreted proteins (SSPs) with elusive roles. Here, we used AlphaFold-Multimer (AFM) …

Microbial pathogens deploy effector proteins to manipulate host cell innate immunity, often
using poorly understood unconventional secretion routes. Transfer RNA (tRNA) anticodon …

Biotrophic plant pathogenic fungi are widely distributed and are among the most damaging
pathogenic organisms of agriculturally important crops responsible for significant losses in …

The interaction of fungal pathogens with their host requires a novel invading mechanism
and the presence of various virulence-associated components responsible for promoting the …

Fungi have been used to better the lives of everyday people and unravel the mysteries of
higher eukaryotic organisms for decades. However, comparing progress and development …

The plant secretome is usually considered in the frame of proteomics, aiming at
characterizing extracellular proteins, their biological roles and the mechanisms accounting …
