The Velvet transcription factor PnVeA regulates necrotrophic effectors and secondary metabolism in the wheat pathogen Parastagonospora nodorum

This study shows that PnVeA regulates necrotrophic effectors and secondary metabolism in P. nodorum, affecting virulence and sporulation.

Proteomic analysis revealed that the oomyceticide phosphite exhibits multi-modal action in an oomycete pathosystem.

This study uses proteomics to show phosphite affects both the oomycete pathogen and its host through multiple mechanisms, including metabolic disruption and immune response changes.

Chromatin-immunoprecipitation reveals the PnPf2 transcriptional network controlling effector-mediated virulence in a fungal pathogen of wheat

This study identifies PnPf2 as a central transcriptional regulator of virulence in Parastagonospora nodorum by characterizing its genomic targets and associated transcription factors.

Comparative sub-cellular proteome analyses reveals metabolic differentiation and production of effector-like molecules in the dieback phytopathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi.

This study compares the sub-cellular proteomes of Phytophthora cinnamomi to identify metabolic differences and effector-like molecules involved in pathogenicity.

Variability in an effector gene promoter of a necrotrophic fungal pathogen dictates epistasis and effector-triggered susceptibility in wheat

This study identifies a promoter element in the Tox1 gene of Parastagonospora nodorum that regulates effector expression and susceptibility in wheat, revealing its role in pathogen virulence and host resistance.
