Abstract: Chitin is a homopolymer of β-(1,4)-linked N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) and a major structural component of fungal cell walls. In plants, chitin acts as a microbe-associated molecular pattern (MAMP) that is recognized by lysin motif (LysM)-containing plant… read more here.

Abstract: Summary Chitin‐binding lysin motif (LysM) effectors contribute to the virulence of various plant‐pathogenic fungi that are causal agents of foliar diseases. Here, we report the LysM effectors of the soil‐borne fungal vascular wilt pathogen Verticillium… read more here.
