Effector Pt9226 from Puccinia triticina Presents a Virulence Role in Wheat Line TcLr15

Microorganisms
Effectors are considered to be virulence factors secreted by pathogens, which play an important role during host-pathogen interactions. In this study, the candidate effector Pt9226 was cloned from genomic DNA of Puccinia triticina (Pt) pathotype THTT ...
