In plant–pathogen interaction, plants trigger reactive oxygen species (ROS) bursts to defend against pathogen invasion, while pathogens evolved antioxidant systems to scavenge ROS for infection. Our study reveals a regulatory mechanism of ROS adaptation and scavenging in the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae. We fou...
CaMutA, a secreted glycoside hydrolase 71 effector encoded on a mini‐chromosome, is identified as a critical pathogenicity factor that suppresses plant immune responses and is essential for infection by C. asianum.

The findings deepen the understanding of epitranscriptomic regulation in fungal pathogenicity and represent a potential candidate for future target-based intervention strategies, pending validation through chemical or genetic approaches.
