Conserved Fungal LysM Effector Ecp6 Prevents Chitin-Triggered Immunity in Plants
Multicellular organisms activate immunity upon recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). Chitin is the major component of fungal cell walls, and chitin oligosaccharides act as PAMPs in plant and mammalian cells.

Role of LysM receptors in chitin-triggered plant innate immunity [PDF]
Recent research findings clearly indicate that lysin motif (LysM)-containing cell surface receptors are involved in the recognition of specific oligosaccharide elicitors (chitin and peptidoglycan), which trigger an innate immunity response in plants ...

Effector-Mediated Suppression of Chitin-Triggered Immunity by Magnaporthe oryzae Is Necessary for Rice Blast Disease [PDF]
Plants use pattern recognition receptors to defend themselves from microbial pathogens. These receptors recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and activate signaling pathways that lead to immunity.

Colletotrichum higginsianum extracellular LysM proteins play dual roles in appressorial function and suppression of chitin‐triggered plant immunity [PDF]
The genome of the hemibiotrophic anthracnose fungus, Colletotrichum higginsianum, encodes a large repertoire of candidate-secreted effectors containing LysM domains, but the role of such proteins in the pathogenicity of any Colletotrichum species is ...

Three LysM effectors of Zymoseptoria tritici collectively disarm chitin‐triggered plant immunity [PDF]
Chitin is a major structural component of fungal cell walls and acts as a microbe‐associated molecular pattern (MAMP) that, on recognition by a plant host, triggers the activation of immune responses.

Pattern-triggered immunity suppresses programmed cell death triggered by fumonisin b1. [PDF]
Programmed cell death (PCD) is a crucial process for plant innate immunity and development. In plant innate immunity, PCD is believed to prevent the spread of pathogens from the infection site.

Chitin Deacetylase, a Novel Target for the Design of Agricultural Fungicides
Fungicide resistance is a serious problem for agriculture. This is particularly apparent in the case of powdery mildew fungi. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new agrochemicals.

Coordinated role of chitin-triggered immunity suppression mechanisms of Podosphaera xanthii. [PDF]
Fungal pathogens are the main destructive microorganisms for terrestrial plants and pose increasing challenges for global agricultural production. Chitin is a vital building block for fungal cell walls and a widely effective inducer for plant immunity ...

contributes to the suppression of chitin‐triggered immunity [PDF]
Podosphaera xanthii is the main causal agent of cucurbit powdery mildew and a limiting factor of crop productivity. The lifestyle of this fungus is determined by the development of specialized parasitic structures inside epidermal cells, termed haustoria,
