Structural Phylogenetics Identifies Conserved Effector Families and Cell Death-Inducing Proteins from Cercospora zeina.

Cercospora zeina causes gray leaf spot disease on maize in Africa. As a foliar fungal pathogen, C. zeina relies on effectors to facilitate successful infection and colonization of its host. Predicting effector function is therefore essential for understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying this plant-pathogen inte...
