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.

Transcriptome-based host epistasis and pathogen co-expression in barley-powdery mildew interactions

The paper analyzes transcriptome data from barley infected with powdery mildew to study host-pathogen interactions, identifying gene effects and co-expression patterns in the pathogen.

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.

NGPINT: A Next-generation protein-protein interaction software

NGPINT identifies protein-protein interactions using Y2H data, achieving 95% accuracy in simulated tests and recognizing all validated interactions in published datasets.

Y2H-SCORES: A statistical framework to infer protein-protein interactions from next-generation yeast-two-hybrid sequence data

Y2H-SCORES provides a statistical framework to identify protein-protein interactions from yeast-two-hybrid sequence data by evaluating enrichment, specificity, and in-frame selection.
