A Revised Nomenclature for Haplotypes Across Multiple Fungal Species.

ToxA is one of the most studied proteinaceous necrotrophic effectors produced by plant pathogens. It has been identified in four pathogens (, , [formerly f. sp. ], and ) causing leaf spot diseases on cereals worldwide. To date, 24 different haplotypes have been identified. Some and related species also express , another small protein necrotrophic effector. We present here a revised and standardized nomenclature for these effectors, which could be extended to other poly-haplotypic genes found across multiple species.
