Novel Secreted Effectors Conserved Among Smut Fungi Contribute to the Virulence of Ustilago maydis
Fungal pathogens deploy a set of molecules (proteins, specialized metabolites, and sRNAs), so-called effectors, to aid the infection process. In comparison to other plant pathogens, smut fungi have small genomes and secretomes of 20 Mb and around 500 proteins, respectively. Previous comparative geno...
