Atg26-mediated pexophagy is required for host invasion by the plant pathogenic fungus Colletotrichum orbiculare.

Abstract excerpt

The number of peroxisomes in a cell can change rapidly in response to changing environmental and physiological conditions. Pexophagy, a type of selective autophagy, is involved in peroxisome degradation, but its physiological role remains to be clarified. Here, we report that cells of the cucumber anthracnose fungus Colletotrichum orbiculare undergo peroxisome degradation as they infect host plants. We performed...
