Plants can be colonized by fungi that have adopted highly diverse lifestyles, ranging from
symbiotic to necrotrophic. Colonization is governed in all systems by hundreds of secreted …

Fungi and oomycetes include deep and diverse lineages of eukaryotic plant pathogens. The
last 10 years have seen the sequencing of the genomes of a multitude of species of these so …

Elucidating the similarity and diversity of pathogen effectors is critical to understand their
evolution across fungal phytopathogens. However, rapid divergence that diminishes …

This paper is the fourth contribution in the Genera of Phytopathogenic Fungi (GOPHY)
series. The series provides morphological descriptions and information about the pathology …

Plant‐pathogenic fungi secrete effector proteins to facilitate infection. We describe extensive
improvements to EffectorP, the first machine learning classifier for fungal effector prediction …

The global diversity of fungi has been estimated between 2 to 11 million species, of which
only about 155 000 have been named. Most fungi are invisible to the unaided eye, but they …

Eukaryotic filamentous plant pathogens secrete effector proteins that modulate the host cell
to facilitate infection. Computational effector candidate identification and subsequent …

Genome annotation is the process of identifying the location and function of a genome's
encoded features. Improving the biological accuracy of annotation is a complex and iterative …

Pathogenic fungi have diverse growth lifestyles that support fungal colonization on plants.
Successful colonization and infection for all lifestyles depends upon the ability to modify …

Asian soybean rust, caused by the fungus Phakopsora pachyrhizi, is the most severe
disease of the crop and can cause yield losses of up to 90%. The disease was first reported …
