title: Fungal Sex Receptors Recalibrated to Detect Host Plants.
abstract: Secreted peroxidases are well-known components of damage-induced defense responses in plants. A recent study in Nature (Turrà et al., 2015) has revealed that these enzymes can inadvertently serve as reporters of wounded sites and constitute an "Achilles heel," allowing adapted pathogens to track and enter host tissue.
