Powdery mildew fungi block plant vacuolar traffic to suppress immunity

This study shows that powdery mildew fungi inhibit the vacuolar trafficking pathway to suppress NLR-mediated immunity in barley, but this inhibition is temporary and can be reversed by later-secreted effectors.

Effector-host networks in the barley powdery mildew pathosystem reveal significant targeting of ubiquitin-associated proteins and transcriptional regulators

The paper identifies effector-host protein interactions in barley powdery mildew, revealing key targets involved in ubiquitin processes and transcriptional regulation.

An interolog-based barley interactome as an integration framework for immune signaling

The paper constructs a barley interactome using interolog inference and integrates it with omics data to model immune signaling and identify novel MLA interactors.
