Abstract excerpt
The relentless adaptability of pathogen populations is a major obstacle to effective disease control measures. Increasing evidence suggests that gene transcriptional polymorphisms are a strategy deployed by pathogens to evade host immunity. However, the underlying mechanisms of transcriptional plasticity remain largely elusive. Here we found that the soybean root rot pathogen Phytophthora sojae evades the soybean...
