Bioinformatic Detection of Positive Selection Pressure in Plant Pathogens: The Neutral Theory of Molecular Sequence Evolution in Action

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The genomes of plant pathogenic fungi and oomycetes are often exposed to strong positive selection pressure. During speciation, shifts in host range and preference can lead to major adaptive changes.

Cancer therapeutic potential of combinatorial immuno- and vaso-modulatory interventions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Currently, most of the basic mechanisms governing tumor-immune system interactions, in combination with modulations of tumor-associated vasculature, are far from being completely understood.

Effector-Triggered Immunity

open access: yesAnnual Review of Immunology, 2023
The innate immune system detects pathogens via germline-encoded receptors that bind to conserved pathogen ligands called pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). Here we consider an additional strategy of pathogen sensing called effector-triggered immunity (ETI).

Comparative Genomics Reveals the High Copy Number Variation of a Retro Transposon in Different Magnaporthe Isolates

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Magnaporthe oryzae is one of the fungal pathogens of rice which results in heavy yield losses worldwide. Understanding the genomic structure of M. oryzae is essential for appropriate deployment of the blast resistance in rice crop improvement programs ...

Comparative Characterization of Virulent and Less-Virulent Lasiodiplodia theobromae Isolates

open access: yesMolecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2023
Lasiodiplodia theobromae attacks over 500 plant species and is an important pathogen of tropical and subtropical fruit. Due to global warming and climate change, the incidence of disease associated with L. theobromae is rising.

Network Analysis Reveals a Common Host–Pathogen Interaction Pattern in Arabidopsis Immune Responses

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Many plant pathogens secrete virulence effectors into host cells to target important proteins in host cellular network. However, the dynamic interactions between effectors and host cellular network have not been fully understood.

Proteinaceous Effector Discovery and Characterization in Plant Pathogenic Colletotrichum Fungi

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Anthracnose caused by plant pathogenic Colletotrichum fungi results in large economic losses in field crop production worldwide. To aid the establishment of plant host infection, Colletotrichum pathogens secrete numerous effector proteins either in ...

Diversifying Selection in the Wheat Stem Rust Fungus Acts Predominantly on Pathogen-Associated Gene Families and Reveals Candidate Effectors

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Plant pathogens cause severe losses to crop plants and threaten global food production. One striking example is the wheat stem rust fungus, Puccinia graminis f. sp.

The genome sequence and effector complement of the flax rust pathogen Melampsora lini [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Rust fungi cause serious yield reductions on crops, including wheat, barley, soybean, coffee, and represent real threats to global food security. Of these fungi, the flax rust pathogen Melampsora lini has been developed most extensively over the past 80 ...

Effector-triggered post-translational modifications and their role in suppression of plant immunity

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2012
Plant-pathogen interactions feature complex signalling exchanges between host and microbes that ultimately determine association outcomes. Plants deploy Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs) to perceive Pathogen Associated Molecular Patterns (PAMPs ...
