Expression of alternative NADH dehydrogenases (NDH‐2) in the phytopathogenic fungus Ustilago maydis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "FEBS Open Bio"
DOI: 10.1002/2211-5463.12475
Abstract: Type 2 alternative NADH dehydrogenases (NDH‐2) participate indirectly in the generation of the electrochemical proton gradient by transferring electrons from NADH and NADPH into the ubiquinone pool. Due to their structural simplicity, alternative NADH dehydrogenases… read more here.

Ustilago maydis effectors and their impact on virulence
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Nature Reviews Microbiology"
DOI: 10.1038/nrmicro.2017.33
Abstract: Biotrophic fungal plant pathogens establish an intimate relationship with their host to support the infection process. Central to this strategy is the secretion of a range of protein effectors that enable the pathogen to evade… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41564-018-0304-6
Abstract: Plant-pathogenic fungi hijack their hosts by secreting effector proteins. Effectors serve to suppress plant immune responses and modulate the host metabolism to benefit the pathogen. Smut fungi are biotrophic pathogens that also parasitize important cereals,… read more here.
