Abstract Defoliating (D) strains of the vascular wilt fungus Verticillium dahliae cause severe yield losses in cotton and olive, but the genetic basis of this pathotype remained unknown. Using comparative genomics, functional genetics, structural analysis, and phylogenomics, we identify a D-pathotype–specific genomic region encoding two duplicated secreted effector genes.

Abstract Evolutionary histories of effector proteins secreted by fungal pathogens to mediate plant colonization remain largely elusive. While most functionally characterized effectors modulate plant immunity, recent discoveries have revealed previously unknown functions in targeting host-associated microbiota.
