A unique invertase is important for sugar absorption of an obligate biotrophic pathogen during infection [09.08.17]
An increased invertase activity in infected plant tissue has been observed in many plant–pathogen interactions. However, the origin of this increased invertase activity (plant and/or pathogen) is still under debate as is the transferability to other pathogen - host systems.Chang, Q., Liu, J., Lin, X., Hu, S., Yang, Y., Li, D., Chen, L., Huai, B., Huang, L., Voegele, R.
