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 disable insect immune responses and disrupt development, revealing a previously unclear mechanism of fungal pathogenicity. The finding could inform new strategies for protecting crops from fungal insect pathogens, though details of the study, its authors, and the extent of reaction from the scientific community remain limited.
