TL;DR: The sequence of the P. infestans genome is reported, which at ∼240 megabases (Mb) is by far the largest and most complex genome sequenced so far in the chromalveolates and probably plays a crucial part in the rapid adaptability of the pathogen to host plants and underpins its evolutionary potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome evolution in filamentous plant pathogens: why bigger can be better
Sylvain Raffaele,Sophien Kamoun +1 more
TL;DR: Cases in which genome plasticity has contributed to the emergence of new virulence traits are illustrated and how genome expansions may have had an impact on the co-evolutionary conflict between these filamentous plant pathogens and their hosts are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome evolution following host jumps in the Irish potato famine pathogen lineage

TL;DR: A group of papers analyzes pathogen genomes to find the roots of virulence, opportunism, and life-style determinants, demonstrating that dynamic repeat-rich genome compartments underpin accelerated gene evolution following host jumps in this pathogen lineage.
Journal ArticleDOI
The two-speed genomes of filamentous pathogens: Waltz with plants
TL;DR: How plant pathogens are great model systems to study evolutionary adaptations at multiple time scales is discussed and the 'two-speed genome' model in which filamentous pathogen genomes have a bipartite architecture with gene sparse, repeat rich compartments serving as a cradle for adaptive evolution is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding and exploiting late blight resistance in the age of effectors

TL;DR: Genome-wide catalogs of P. infestans effectors are available, enabling effectoromics approaches that accelerate R gene cloning and specificity profiling and monitoring effector allelic diversity in pathogen populations can assist in R gene deployment in agriculture.
