Omics technologies, namely genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and
phenomics, are becoming an integral part of virtually every commercial cereal crop breeding …

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' …

Pathogens utilize multiple types of effectors to modulate plant immunity. Although many
apoplastic and cytoplasmic effectors have been reported, nuclear effectors have not been …

To cause rice blast disease, the filamentous fungus Magnaporthe oryzae secretes a battery
of effector proteins into host plant tissue to facilitate infection. Effector-encoding genes are …

Upon fungal and bacterial pathogen attack, plants launch pattern‐triggered immunity (PTI)
by recognizing pathogen‐associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) to defend against …

As with the majority of the hemibiotrophic fungal pathogens, the rice blast fungus
Magnaporthe oryzae uses highly specialized infection structures called appressoria for plant …

Secretion is a fundamental process that plant pathogens utilize to deliver effectors into the
host to downregulate immunity and promote infection. Here, we uncover a fascinating …

Rice blast caused by Magnaporthe oryzae is one of the most destructive diseases and
poses a growing threat to food security worldwide. Like many other filamentous pathogens …

Alternative splicing (AS) contributes to diversifying and regulating cellular responses to
environmental conditions and developmental cues by differentially producing multiple …

Plant–microbe interactions leading to altered expression of plants' genetic potentials are the
subject of an increasing number of studies. In recent years, there has been a growing body …
