Genomic insights into M. phaseolina: Multifactorial virulence via secreted effectors, carbohydrate enzymes and secondary metabolites.
Macrophomina phaseolina, a soilborne necrotrophic pathogen causing charcoal rot across more than 500 host plant species, poses a significant and escalating threat to global food security under climate change-driven abiotic stresses. Despite its destructive importance, the molecular architecture underlying its broad hos...
