Major effector loss reveals compensatory pathogenicity networks in a necrotrophic wheat pathogen
Necrotrophic effectors (NEs) are key determinants of virulence in the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Parastagonospora nodorum that causes septoria nodorum blotch of wheat. However, targeted removal of three important NEs SnToxA, SnTox1, and SnTox3 in the mutant Δtoxa13 previously revealed a redundancy mechanism is trigge...
