Wheat is one of the primary staple foods throughout the planet. Significant yield gains in
wheat production over the past 40 years have resulted in a steady balance of supply versus …

Fungal pathogens can secrete hundreds of effectors, some of which are known to promote
host susceptibility. This biological complexity, together with the lack of genetic tools in some …

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 …

Pathogens secrete effector proteins and many operate inside plant cells to enable infection.
Some effectors have been found to enter subcellular compartments by mimicking host …

Stem rust caused by the fungus Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) is a devastating disease
of the global staple crop wheat. Although this disease was largely controlled in the latter half …

Eukaryotic filamentous plant pathogens secrete effector proteins that modulate the host cell
to facilitate infection. Computational effector candidate identification and subsequent …

Parasexuality contributes to diversity and adaptive evolution of haploid (monokaryotic) fungi.
However, non-sexual genetic exchange mechanisms are not defined in dikaryotic fungi …

Race-specific resistance genes protect the global wheat crop from stem rust disease caused
by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) but are often overcome owing to evolution of new …

We identify the wheat stem rust resistance gene Sr50 (using physical mapping, mutation and
complementation) as homologous to barley Mla, encoding a coiled-coil nucleotide-binding …
