Trichoderma swollenin activates AtABCB5-dependent auxin efflux to promote plant development - Research
The beneficial fungus Trichoderma acts through the secreted swollenin ThSWO, which crosses the plant cell wall and engages AtABCB5, an auxin efflux carrier, at the host cell surface. This effector-transporter module tunes auxin-associated cellular responses, revealing how beneficial fungi co-opt host hormone transport to promote root development.
