Journal ArticleDOI

The novel Cladosporium fulvum lysin motif effector Ecp6 is a virulence factor with orthologues in other fungal species

TL;DR: Heterologous expression of ECP6 significantly increased the virulence of the vascular pathogen Fusarium oxysporum on tomato, and by RNA interference (RNAi)‐mediated gene silencing it is demonstrated that Ecp6 is instrumental for C.’fulvum virulence on tomato.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extensive chromosomal reshuffling drives evolution of virulence in an asexual pathogen

TL;DR: It is shown that extensive chromosomal rearrangements in the strictly asexual plant pathogenic fungus Verticillium dahliae establish highly dynamic lineage-specific genomic regions that act as a source for genetic variation to mediate aggressiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Soil-Borne Legacy.

TL;DR: The involvement of plant stress responses in the assembly of plant-beneficial microbiomes and the driving forces that shape the microbiome is crucial to facilitate durable crop production.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fungal LysM effectors: extinguishers of host immunity?

TL;DR: A survey of public sequence data of 70 fungal species is presented to demonstrate that putatively secreted LysM-containing proteins are widespread in the fungal kingdom, as they are found in mammalian and plant pathogenic species, in addition to saprophytes.
Journal ArticleDOI

How filamentous pathogens co-opt plants: the ins and outs of fungal effectors

TL;DR: Functional analysis of type III secreted effectors injected by pathogenic bacteria into host cells has significantly advanced the field and demonstrated that many function to suppress host defense.
