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...

Genome-enabled discovery and characterization of type III effector-encoding genes of plant symbiotic bacteria

Creator:

Kimbrel, Jeffrey A.

Abstract:

Symbiosis is the close and protracted interaction between organisms. The molecular interactions that occur during symbiosis are complex with multiple barriers that must be overcome. Many Gram-negative, host-associated bacteria use a type III secretion system to mediate associations with their eukaryotic hosts. This secretion system is a specialized apparatus for...
