Fusarium sacchari 14‐3‐3 Protein FsBmh1 Sequesters a Novel Elicitor FsEcm33 to Evade Host Immunity

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
When the elicitor FsEcm33 is sprayed onto Nicotiana benthamiana leaves, it enters the apoplast, triggering PAMP‐triggered immunity (PTI) that depends on NbRE02, NbBAK1, and NbSOBIR1. However, upon Fusarium sacchari infection, FsBmh1 binds FsEcm33 to prevent its localization on the cell surface, escaping PTI to allow colonization.

A Glycosylphosphatidylinositol Anchor Is Required for Membrane Localization but Dispensable for Cell Wall Association of Chitin Deacetylase 2 in Cryptococcus neoformans

mBio, 2012
Cell wall proteins (CWPs) mediate important cellular processes in fungi, including adhesion, invasion, biofilm formation, and flocculation. The current model of fungal cell wall organization includes a major class of CWPs covalently bound to β-1,6-glucan

Bioconversion of chitin to chitosan: purification and characterization of chitin deacetylase from Mucor rouxii. [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1993
Chitin deacetylase, the enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of acetamido groups of N-acetylglucosamine in chitin, has been purified to homogeneity from mycelial extracts of the fungus Mucor rouxii and further characterized. The enzyme exhibits a low pI (approximately 3).

Potential Virulence Factors in Pyrenophora teres Through Label‐Free Cellular Proteomics Analysis

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
This study presents the first label‐free proteomic profile of Pyrenophora teres, identifying potential virulence factors unique to virulent isolates. These proteins were mapped to the P. teres f. teres reference genome and previously identified virulence QTL, providing a valuable resource for future research. ABSTRACT Pyrenophora teres f.

Wheat's war against stripe rust: Integrating host immunity, genomics and breeding for durable resistance

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), a foundation of global food security, faces persistent threats from stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst). The pathogen thrives in cool and humid environments and regularly causes epidemics that lead to severe yield losses.

Host‐Induced Silencing of Rhizoctonia Solani 5‐Enolpyruvylshikimate‐3‐Phosphate Synthase Impairs Its Virulence in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 3573-3593, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Sheath blight disease of rice caused by the fungal pathogen R. solani AG1‐IA remains a big threat to rice production worldwide. A limited genetic variation in rice for tolerance to this pathogen and little success in understanding how it defeats host defence are major reasons behind it.
