A Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici Effector with DPBB Domain Suppresses Wheat Defense.

ABSTRACT: Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a primary crop globally. Among the numerous pathogens affecting wheat production, Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) is a significant biotic stress agent and poses a major threat to world food security by causing stripe rust or yellow rust disease. Understanding the molecular basis of plant-pathogen interactions is crucial for developing new means of disease management. It is well established that the effector proteins play a pivotal role in pathogenesis. Therefore, studying effector proteins has become an important area of research in plant biology. Our previous work identified differentially expressed candidate secretory effector proteins of stripe rust based on transcriptome sequencing data from susceptible wheat (Avo
