This paper develops a wheat protoplast assay for efficient screening of Avr/R gene interactions, enabling multiplexed testing and improved identification of defense responses.

This study identifies how the wheat protein TaNHL10 interacts with the effector ToxA to trigger cell death in wheat, revealing a key mechanism in necrotrophic pathogenesis.

This paper describes a method to express fungal effector proteins in Nicotiana benthamiana, enabling efficient necrosis induction in host plants.

This study identifies effector proteins from Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici using transcriptomic analysis and experimental validation, revealing their role in wheat yellow rust disease.

The paper determines the crystal structure of SnTox3, a fungal effector, revealing a novel β-barrel fold and showing that it is a pre-pro-protein processed by Kex2 protease.

This study shows how the potato blight pathogen P. infestans uses the effector PexRD54 to redirect host autophagy towards the pathogen interface, benefiting the pathogen.
