The Pleiades cluster of fungal effector genes inhibit host defenses

2019-11-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Biotrophic plant pathogens secrete effector proteins to manipulate the host physiology. Effectors suppress defenses and induce an environment favorable to disease development. Sequence-based prediction of effector function is difficulted by their rapid evolution rate. In the maize pathogen Ustilago maydis, effector-coding genes frequently organize in clusters. Here we describe the functional char...
