Widespread signatures of selection for secreted peptidases in a fungal plant pathogen

Widespread signatures of selection for secreted peptidases in a fungal plant pathogen

Abstract Background Fungal plant pathogens secrete a large arsenal of hydrolytic enzymes during the course of infection, including peptidases. Secreted peptidases have been extensively studied for their role as effectors. In this study, we combined transcriptomics, comparative genomics and evolution...
