Fitness costs associated with unnecessary virulence factors and life history traits: evolutionary insights from the potato late blight pathogen Phytophthora infestans.

BMC evolutionary biology - 16 Sept 2010

Montarry Josselin, Hamelin Frédéric M, Glais Isabelle, Corbi Roselyneère, Andrivon Didier

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: In gene-for-gene models of plant-pathogen interactions, the existence of fitness costs associated with unnecessary virulence factors still represents an issue, both in evolutionary biology and agricultural sciences. Measuring such costs experimentally has proven difficult, especially...
