Identification of a Protein from Rust Fungi Transferred from Haustoria into Infected Plant Cells
The formation of haustoria is one of the hallmarks of the interaction of obligate biotrophic fungi with their host plants.In addition to their role in nutrient uptake, it is hypothesized that haustoria are actively involved in establishing and maintaining the biotrophic relationship.We have identified a 24.3-kDa protein that exhibited a very unusua
