In the era of functional genomics, the need for tools to perform large-scale targeted and
random mutagenesis is increasing. A potential tool is Agrobacterium-mediated fungal …

Host‐selective toxins (HSTs) are effectors produced by some necrotrophic pathogenic fungi
that typically confer the ability to cause disease. Often, diseases caused by pathogens that …

Plant diseases caused by fungi and oomycetes pose an increasing threat to food security
and ecosystem health worldwide. These filamentous pathogens, while taxonomically …

Introduction: Verticillium spp. are soil‐borne plant pathogens responsible for Verticillium wilt
diseases in temperate and subtropical regions; collectively they affect over 200 hosts …

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is an important vegetable crop grown worldwide. However,
its productivity is largely suppressed the phytopathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp …

Abstract Knowledge remains limited about how fungal pathogens that colonize living plant
cells translocate effector proteins inside host cells to regulate cellular processes and …

Abstract SUMMARY Taxonomy: Vascular wilt fungus; Ascomycete although sexual stage is
yet to be found. The most closely related teleomorphic group, Gibberella, is classified within …

A 12 kDa cysteine‐rich protein is secreted by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici during
colonization of tomato xylem vessels. Peptide sequences obtained with mass spectrometry …

Plant pathogens secrete an arsenal of small secreted proteins (SSPs) acting as effectors that
modulate host immunity to facilitate infection. SSP-encoding genes are often located in …

During tomato leaf colonization, the biotrophic fungus Cladosporium fulvum secretes several
effector proteins into the apoplast. Eight effectors have previously been characterized and …
