Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular Variation Among Isolates of Verticillium dahliae and Polymerase Chain Reaction-Based Differentiation of Races

TL;DR: The results indicate that the PCR assay can be applied to differentiate the two races of V. dahliae to support the related aim of breeding host resistance, and reveal insights into the distribution of races in tomato and lettuce cropping systems in California.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Comparison of the Effects of DNA-Damaging Agents and Biotic Elicitors on the Induction of Plant Defense Genes, Nuclear Distortion, and Cell Death

TL;DR: It is proposed that DNA damage or the associated alteration of chromatin can signal the transcriptional activation of plant defense genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multi-locus tree and species tree approaches toward resolving a complex clade of downy mildews (Straminipila, Oomycota), including pathogens of beet and spinach

TL;DR: The results provide strong evidence that Peronospora schachtii is an independent species from lineages on Atriplex and apparently occurs exclusively on Beta vulgaris, and multi-locus phylogenetic analysis and species tree estimation reveal four previously unrecognized lineages, which are specific to a host genus or species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative genomics of downy mildews reveals potential adaptations to biotrophy.

TL;DR: The phylogenomic data support multiple origins of downy mildews from hemibiotrophic progenitors and suggest that common gene losses in these downy Mildews may be of genes involved in the necrotrophic stages of Phytophthora spp.
