Gene expression polymorphism underpins evasion of host immunity in an asexual lineage of the Irish potato famine pathogen
2017-03-11
Abstract excerpt
Outbreaks caused by asexual lineages of fungal and oomycete pathogens are an expanding threat to crops, wild animals and natural ecosystems (Fisher et al. 2012,Kupferschmidt 2012). However, the mechanisms underlying genome evolution and phenotypic plasticity in asexual eukaryotic microbes remain poorly understood (Seidl and Thomma 2014). Ever since the 19 th century Irish famine, the oomycete Phytophthora infest...
