We sequenced and compared the genomes of the Dothideomycete fungal plant pathogens
Cladosporium fulvum (Cfu) (syn. Passalora fulva) and Dothistroma septosporum (Dse) that …

Upon host penetration, fungal pathogens secrete a plethora of effectors to promote disease,
including proteases that degrade plant antimicrobial proteins, and protease inhibitors (PIs) …

Plant pathogenic fungi adapt quickly to changing environments including overcoming plant
disease resistance genes. This is usually achieved by mutations in single effector genes of …

As part of their defense strategy against fungal pathogens, plants secrete chitinases that
degrade chitin, the major structural component of fungal cell walls. Some fungi are not sensitive …

Cladosporium fulvum is a biotrophic fungal pathogen that causes leaf mould of tomato.
Analysis of its genome suggested a high potential for production of secondary metabolites (SM), …

Tomato leaf mold disease is caused by the biotrophic fungus Cladosporium fulvum. During
infection, C. fulvum produces extracellular small secreted protein (SSP) effectors that function …

Aging decreases the quality of seeds and results in agricultural and economic losses. The
damage that occurs at the biochemical level can alter the seed physiological status. Although …

CfAvr4, a chitin‐binding effector protein produced by the Dothideomycete tomato pathogen C
ladosporium fulvum, protects the cell wall of this fungus against hydrolysis by secreted host …

Proteases are key components of the hydrolytic enzyme arsenal employed by fungal
pathogens to invade their host plants. The recent advances in -omics era have facilitated …

The fungus Cladosporium fulvum causes the leaf mould in tomatoes. During the colonization
of the host, it secretes plenty of effector proteins into the plant apoplast to suppress the plant…
