Evolutionary and functional dynamics of oomycete effector genes

Abstract

This chapter contains sections titled: Introduction Oomycete Effectors Target Different Sites in Host Plant Tissue Oomycete Effectors have a Modular Architecture Oomycete Effector Genes Show Distinct Patterns of Expression During Plant Colonization Effector Genes Populate Plastic Regions of Oomycete Genomes Evolution of P. infestans Genome and Effector Genes Following Host Jumps Several Oomycete Effectors Suppress Plant Immunity Effectors Are Useful in Breeding and Deployment of Disease Resistance Outlook References
