The paper reports the identification of four effectors, named EPC1 to EPC4, that are involved in host specificity of cucumber anthracnose fungus Colletotrichum orbiculare.
We have published the paper:
Inoue Y, Phuong Vy TT, Singkaravanit-Ogawa S, Zhang R, Yamada K, Ogawa T, Ishizuka J, Narusaka Y, Takano Y. Selective deployment of virulence effectors correlates with host specificity in a fungal plant pathogen. (2023) New Phytologist, 238:1578-1592
It is estimated that effectors of fungal pathogens have play important roles for their host specificity but the details are unknown. The paper reports the identification of four effectors, named EPC1 to EPC4, that are involved in host specificity of cucumber anthracnose fungus Colletotrichum orbiculare.
