Phylogeography and Evolution of Effector Genes in Phytophthora Species

Creator:

Shakya, Shankar K.

Abstract:

Plant pathogens in the genus Phytophthora are known to cause disease on field crops, nursery plants, and forest trees. The best known example probably is Phytophthora infestans, which triggered the infamous Irish potato famine. Other important Phytophthora species include: P. ramorum (sudden oak death pathogen), P. sojae (soybean root rot...

Integration of Evolutionary Theory and Genomics to Understand Processes Involved in Host Adaptation and Divergence in Phytophthora Plant Pathogens

Creator:

Tabima, Javier F.

Abstract:

Modern plant pathology benefits from integrating methods and concepts from evolutionary biology. For example, evolutionary concepts are used to identify and examine species boundaries of plant pathogens, recognize processes underlying pathogen biogeography, identify traits that characterize emerging species, and discover new molecular interactions that originate under processes of selection. In...
