Effector-host networks in the barley powdery mildew pathosystem reveal significant targeting of ubiquitin-associated proteins and transcriptional regulators

The ascomycete fungal pathogen Blumeria hordei (Bh) is predicted to secrete over 530 effector proteins to infect barley and cause powdery mildew disease, yet their individual and collective functions are largely unexplored. We used yeast two-hybrid next-generation interaction screening (Y2H-NGIS) to probe the host targ...
