Lysin Motif Effectors Facilitate the Endophytic Colonization of Wheat by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum via Modulating Plant Immunity
ABSTRACT Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a necrotrophic fungus that causes severe plant diseases but can also colonize wheat as a symptomless endophyte. However, the mechanism by which its effector proteins regulate this dual lifestyle remains unclear. This study aimed to identify key LysM effectors involved in S. scleroti...
