Using the pathogen-host interactions database (PHI-base) to investigate plant pathogen genomes and genes implicated in virulence

Martin Urban et al. Front Plant Sci. .

Abstract

New pathogen-host interaction mechanisms can be revealed by integrating mutant phenotype data with genetic information. PHI-base is a multi-species manually curated database combining peer-reviewed published phenotype data from plant and animal pathogens and gene/protein information in a single database.

Keywords: comparative genomics; emerging diseases; gene regulatory networks; genetic recombination; horizontal gene transfer; phytopathogens; plant diseases; protein interaction mapping.
