Blumeria graminis secretes an extracellular catalase during infection of barley: potential role in suppression of host defence.

SUMMARY The obligate biotrophic fungal pathogen of barley, Blumeria graminis f.sp. hordei (Bgh), elicits a burst of H(2)O(2) in its host barley at sites of germ tube invasion. To evaluate whether this specialized pathogen has any antioxidant response to this oxidative burst, the Bgh catB gene was ch...
