| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Plant pathogenic fungi establish the infection of their host plants by using a set of secreted proteins called effectors. This study focused on the effector NIS1 identified in a cucumber anthracnose fungus Colletotrichum orbiculare. Plants activate defense responses via the recognition of Pathogen-Associated Molecular Patterns (PAMPs). The study revealed that NIS1, widely conserved in plant pathogenic fungi, targets protein kinases critical for the PAMP-triggered immunity and plays important roles for infection strategies of plant pathogenic fungi including Colletotrichum species.
