The ApHSF–ApCtf1β2–ApCUT3 Cascade Couples Host ROS Detoxification to Cuticle Penetration During Fungal Pathogenesis
Successful infection by plant‐pathogenic fungi requires both penetration of the host cuticle and tolerance of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst associated with host immunity. However, how these early infection events are temporally coordinated remains unclear. Here, we identified a three‐tier transcriptional casc...
