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' …

Ubiquitin-proteasome mediated protein turnover is an important regulatory mechanism of
cellular function in eukaryotes. Extensive studies have linked the ubiquitin-proteasome …

The blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae produces invasive hyphae in living rice cells during
early infection, separated from the host cytoplasm by plant-derived interfacial membranes …

Apoplastic ascorbate oxidases (AOs) play a critical role in reactive oxygen species (ROS)-
mediated innate host immunity by regulating the apoplast redox state. To date, little is known …

Plant pathogenic fungi elaborate numerous detoxification strategies to suppress host
reactive oxygen species (ROS), but their coordination is not well-understood. Here, we show …

Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) play crucial roles in regulating protein function and
thereby control many cellular processes and biological phenotypes in both eukaryotes and …

Pyricularia oryzae (syn. Magnaporthe oryzae), is a filamentous ascomycete that causes a
major disease called blast on cereal crops, as well as on a wide variety of wild and …

Ubiquitination is a vital protein post-translational modification (PTM) prevalent in eukaryotes.
This modification regulates multiple cellular processes through protein degradation …

Magnaporthe oryzae is a hemibiotrophic fungus responsible for the economically
devastating and recalcitrant rice blast disease. However, the blast fungus is not only …

Phytopathogenic fungi must adapt to the different environmental conditions found during
infection and avoid the immune response of the plant. For these adaptations, fungi must …
