Fungal effector disarms insect immunity via acetylation switch
Original: Fungal Effector Uses Acetylation Switch to Disarm Insect Immunity and Development
Researchers report that a fungal effector protein uses an acetylation switch to suppress insect immune responses and disrupt development, revealing a molecular mechanism by which pathogenic fungi subvert host defences. The finding could inform new strategies for biological pest control and crop protection, and is drawing attention within the biology and plant pathology communities.
Why now: New research reveals a previously unknown molecular mechanism by which fungi evade insect immunity
