Abstract excerpt
Managing pathogen damage in wheat production is important for sustaining yields. Fungal plant pathogen genomes encode many small secreted proteins acting as effectors that play key roles in the successful colonization of host tissue and triggering host defenses. AvrStb6 is the first described Zymoseptoria tritici avirulence effector, which triggers Stb6-mediated immunity in the wheat host in a gene-for-gene...
