Alternative splicing regulation in plants by effectors of symbiotic arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

This study identifies SP7-like effectors from AM fungi that modulate alternative splicing in host plants by interacting with splicing factors.

Fungal effector Jsi1 hijacks plant JA/ET signaling through Topless

This paper identifies Jsi1, a fungal effector that hijacks plant JA/ET signaling by interacting with TPL/TPR co-repressors, leading to biotrophic susceptibility.
