Abstract excerpt
Five members of an elicitor-like gene family from Phytophthora infestans were examined. The family was identified through the analysis of M81, a mating-induced gene. The predicted M81 product resembled a 42-kDa P. sojae glycoprotein known to elicit defense reactions in plants, including a host of P. infestans, potato. M81 was the most structurally and functionally divergent of the P. infestans genes compared with...
