“…EIX (ethylene-inducing xylanase), identified in the nonpathogenic fungus Trichoderma viride originally, with β-1-4-endoglucanase activity, is an important class of elicitor in the GH11 family [ 31 ], and EIX-induced PTI immunity is not dependent on its enzymatic activity but the receptors LeEIX1 and LeEIX2 [ 32 ]. EIX homologues were isolated from plant pathogenic fungi, including B. cinerea , F. graminearum and V. dahliae , and FGSG_03624 from F. graminearum , BcXyn11A from B. cinerea , and VdEIX3, from V. dahliae also have the ability to trigger PTI immune responses and plant resistance to fungal infection [ 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 ]. In addition to GH11, other CWDEs-related GHs, including GH10, GH12, GH28, and GH45, have been proven to be fungal elicitors [ 37 , 38 ].…”
