A short LysM protein with high molecular diversity from an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus, Rhizophagus irregularis
2019-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form an intimate symbiosis with roots of more than 80% of land plants without eliciting a significant defense response, and how they do so is yet to be determined. Typically, plants mount a defense response upon sensing chitin in fungal walls, and to counteract this response, plant-pathogenic fungi secrete small effector proteins with chitin-binding LysM domains. In the AM fungus,...
