Systematic Identification and Functional Characterisation of Colletotrichum fructicola Effectors During Camellia oleifera Colonisation. [PDF]
Five novel effectors were identified in Colletotrichum fructicola required for full virulence. They suppress host immunity, modulate antioxidant enzymes and reprogramme metabolism in Camellia oleifera, providing targets for anthracnose control. ABSTRACT Camellia oleifera is an important woody oil crop in southern China, but its production is severely ...
