Effectors with different gears: divergence of <i>Ustilago maydis</i> effector genes is associated with their temporal expression pattern during plant infection
2020-12-11
Abstract excerpt
Plant pathogens secrete a variety of effector proteins that enable host colonization but are also typical pathogen detection targets for the host immune system. Consequently, effector genes encounter high selection pressures, which typically makes them fast evolving. The corn smut pathogen Ustilago maydis has an effector gene repertoire with a dynamic expression across the different disease stages. We determined...
