Gene duplication drove functional divergence of two effectors in the maize anthracnose pathogen

2025-11-28

Abstract excerpt

Colletotrichum species rank among the most important fungal pathogens, threatening food security by infecting nearly all major crops worldwide. Colletotrichum graminicola , the causal agent of maize anthracnose, secretes effector proteins to manipulate host defences and promote colonization. Building on previous work characterizing the nuclear effector CgEP1, we characterized its paralog CgEP4, which is highly co...
