^aSSP that belong to family 61 of the Glycosyl Hydrolase Cazymes. This is a very large family of fungal enzymes that is thought to play an important role in lignocellulose degradation. These effectors are expressed later during infection, primarily during NT
^bSSP with a CFEM domain. CFEM proteins contain a conserved domain that includes eight cysteine residues. Many fungal proteins with CFEM domains have been shown to have roles in pathogenicity
