Targeting of the barley cell-surface receptor SRF3 by the Blumeria hordei effector AVRA13 overlaps with AVRA13 recognition by MLA and the induction of NLR-mediated cell death.

The paper identifies AVRA13's interaction with SRF3 in barley and shows its role in manipulating iron homeostasis to promote fungal growth, while also revealing MLA's detection of AVRA13's virulence features.
