Prediction of the secretomes of endophytic and nonendophytic fungi reveals similarities in host plant infection and colonization strategies

Abstract excerpt

Endophytic fungi are microorganisms that inhabit internal plant tissues without causing apparent damage. During the infection process, both endophytic and phytopathogenic fungi secrete proteins to resist or supplant the plant's defense mechanisms. This study analyzed the predicted secretomes of six species of endophytic fungi and compared them with predicted secretomes of eight fungal species with different...
