Proteinaceous Effector Discovery and Characterization in Plant Pathogenic Colletotrichum Fungi

Frontiers 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 ...

Nuocytes represent a new innate effector leukocyte that mediates type-2 immunity

Nature, 2010
Innate immunity provides the first line of defence against invading pathogens and provides important cues for the development of adaptive immunity. Type-2 immunity—responsible for protective immune responses to helminth parasites and the underlying cause

Juvenile Spider Mites Induce Salicylate Defenses, but Not Jasmonate Defenses, Unlike Adults

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
When plants detect herbivores they strengthen their defenses. As a consequence, some herbivores evolved the means to suppress these defenses. Research on induction and suppression of plant defenses usually makes use of particular life stages of ...

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

Frontiers 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 ...

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

Frontiers 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.

Ionic immune suppression within the tumour microenvironment limits T cell effector function

Nature, 2016
Tumours progress despite being infiltrated by tumour-specific effector T cells. Tumours contain areas of cellular necrosis, which are associated with poor survival in a variety of cancers. Here, we show that necrosis releases intracellular potassium ions

Microbiome manipulation by a soil-borne fungal plant pathogen using effector proteins

Nature Plants, 2020
During colonization of their hosts, pathogens secrete effector proteins to promote disease development through various mechanisms. Increasing evidence shows that the host microbiome plays a crucial role in health, and that hosts actively shape their ...

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

Frontiers 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.

Genome and Transcriptome Sequencing Analysis of Fusarium commune Provides Insights into the Pathogenic Mechanisms of the Lotus Rhizome Rot

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Fusarium wilt, a vascular wilt caused by F. commune, has been a serious problem for the lotus. Although some F. commune isolate genomes have been sequenced, little is known about the genomic information of the strain that causes Fusarium wilt of aquatic ...

Microbial exopolysaccharide production by polyextremophiles in the adaptation to multiple extremes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Polyextremophiles are microorganisms that endure multiple extreme conditions by various adaptation strategies that also include the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This review provides an integrated perspective on EPS biosynthesis, function, and regulation in these organisms, emphasizing their critical role in survival and highlighting their ...
