The roles of AVR4 in fungal virulence,cercosporin biosynthesis and its potential use in host induced gene silencing for controlling cercospora leaf blight disease of soybeans

The AVR4 effector, secreted by Cladosporium fulvum, has been demonstrated to be involved in pathogen virulence. Recent studies further demonstrated that Avr4 is highly conserved among several Cercospora species, indicating a potential important role of this gene in fungal virulence. Therefore, inves...
