Is there a trade-off between host generalism and aggressiveness across pathogen populations? A synthesis of the global potato and tomato blight lesion growth data

2022-08-03

Abstract excerpt

Phytophthora infestans populations and lineages vary widely in host specificity from specialisation to generalism among potato and tomato. However, generalists that displace others and became dominant on both hosts are relatively uncommon. Generalists may have lower fitness compared to specialists on the host of the latter, which could explain their coexistence at many locations. Lesion size is an aggressiveness m...
