Saado I, Chia K, Betz R, Alcantara A, Pettko-Szandtner A, Navarrete F, et al.
Plant Cell . 2022 May; 34(7):2785-2805. PMID: 35512341
As the gall-inducing smut fungus Ustilago maydis colonizes maize (Zea mays) plants, it secretes a complex effector blend that suppresses host defense responses, including production of reactive oxygen species (ROS)...

Navarrete F, Grujic N, Stirnberg A, Saado I, Aleksza D, Gallei M, et al.
PLoS Pathog . 2021 Jun; 17(6):e1009641. PMID: 34166468
Biotrophic plant pathogens secrete effector proteins to manipulate the host physiology. Effectors suppress defenses and induce an environment favorable to disease development. Sequence-based prediction of effector function is impeded by...

Alcantara A, Seitner D, Navarrete F, Djamei A
Plant Methods . 2020 Jan; 16:4. PMID: 31988651
Background: The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a highly conserved process in eukaryotic organisms that plays a crucial role in adaptation and development. While the most ubiquitous components of this...

Alcantara A, Bosch J, Nazari F, Hoffmann G, Gallei M, Uhse S, et al.
Front Plant Sci . 2019 Dec; 10:1437. PMID: 31803201
During infection pathogens secrete small molecules, termed effectors, to manipulate and control the interaction with their specific hosts. Both the pathogen and the plant are under high selective pressure to...

Mycorrhiza . 2018 Jan; 28(3):247-258. PMID: 29372408
We investigated whether the performance of cork oak under drought could be improved by colonization with the ectomycorrhizal fungus Pisolithus tinctorius. Results show that inoculation alone had a positive effect...

Orr D, Alcantara A, Kapralov M, Andralojc P, Carmo-Silva E, Parry M
Plant Physiol . 2016 Jun; 172(2):707-717. PMID: 27342312
The threat to global food security of stagnating yields and population growth makes increasing crop productivity a critical goal over the coming decades. One key target for improving crop productivity...
