Ancient MAX Effector Variants of a Fungal Pathogen Evade Apoplastic Immunity in Apple
2025-12-25
Abstract excerpt
Venturia inaequalis is an Ascomycota fungus responsible for apple scab, the main disease in apple orchards. During infection, the pathogen colonizes the subcuticular space and secretes hundreds of effectors to promote virulence. To mitigate disease impact, resistance genes such as Rvi6 , which encodes a membrane-localized receptor-like protein, have been introduced into apple cultivars. However, over the past thr...
