Mutations in the signal peptide of effector gene Pi04314 contribute to the adaptive evolution of the Phytophthora infestans.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Effectors are critical in the antagonistic interactions between plants and pathogens. However, knowledge of mutation mechanisms and evolutionary processes of effectors remains fragmented despite its importance for the sustainable management of plant diseases. Here, we used a population genetic approach to explore the evolution of the effector gene Pi04314 in Phytophthora infestans, the causal agent of...
