Theobroma cacao, the source of chocolate, is affected by destructive diseases wherever it is
grown. Some diseases are endemic; however, as cacao was disseminated from the Amazon …

Plant-colonizing fungi secrete a cocktail of effector proteins during colonization. After
secretion, some of these effectors are delivered into plant cells to directly dampen the plant …

Cerato‐platanin proteins (CP s), which are secreted by filamentous fungi, are phytotoxic to
host plants, but their functions have not been well defined to date. Here we characterized a …

Abstract Witches' broom disease (WBD), caused by the hemibiotrophic fungus
Moniliophthora perniciosa, is one of the most devastating diseases of Theobroma cacao, the …

Summary Taxonomy: Moniliophthora roreri (Cif.) HC Evans et al.; Phylum Basidiomycota;

Cerato-platanins are an interesting group of small, secreted, cysteine-rich proteins that have
been implicated in virulence of certain plant pathogenic fungi. The relatively recent …

Cerato-platanin proteins are small, secreted proteins with four conserved cysteines that are
abundantly produced by filamentous fungi with all types of lifestyles. These proteins appear …

Despite the increasing number of sequenced genomes, cerato-platanin family proteins
(CPPs) seem to exist only in fungi. Bacteria, oomycota, plants, and animals do not in fact …

Fungal immunomodulatory proteins (FIPs) are a group of proteins found in fungi, which are
extensively studied for their immunomodulatory activity. Currently, more than 38 types of …

During pathogenic infection, hundreds of proteins that play vital roles in the Verticillium
dahliae-host interaction are secreted. In this study, an integrated proteomic analysis of …
