Plant science. Genome evolution in plant pathogens

Peter N Dodds. Science. .

Abstract

Pathogen genes that shut down specific host plant immune responses are highly divergent and have evolved rapidly to accommodate adaptation.

Agricultural threats
Many pathogens, such Phytophthora infestans, target major food crops, such as potato (shown). The genes involved in host-pathogen interactions are highly diversified among related Phytophthora species that attack different plants.
