An automated and combinative method for the predictive ranking of candidate effector proteins of fungal plant pathogens

Abstract Fungal plant-pathogens promote infection of their hosts through the release of ‘effectors’—a broad class of cytotoxic or virulence-promoting molecules. Effectors may be recognised by resistance or sensitivity receptors in the host, which can determine disease outcomes. Accurate prediction o...
