Identification and Initial Characterization of the Effectors of an Anther Smut Fungus and Potential Host Target Proteins

(1) Background: Plant pathogenic fungi often display high levels of host specificity and biotrophic fungi; in particular, they must manipulate their hosts to avoid detection and to complete their obligate pathogenic lifecycles. One important strategy of such fungi is the secretion of small proteins...
