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.

In Planta Expression Screens of Phytophthora infestans RXLR Effectors Reveal Diverse Phenotypes, Including Activation of the Solanum bulbocastanum Disease Resistance Protein Rpi-blb2

TL;DR: The Irish potato famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans is predicted to secrete hundreds of effector proteins and it is revealed that 16 of the 62 examined effectors cause phenotypes when expressed inside plant cells, and structure-function experiments indicated that a 34–amino acid region in the C-terminal half of AVRblb2 is sufficient for triggering Rpi-blb 2 hypersensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive Evolution Has Targeted the C-Terminal Domain of the RXLR Effectors of Plant Pathogenic Oomycetes
Joe Win,William Morgan,Jorunn I. B. Bos,Ksenia V. Krasileva,Liliana M. Cano,Angela Chaparro-Garcia,Randa Ammar,Brian J. Staskawicz,Sophien Kamoun +8 more
TL;DR: RXLR sequence is overrepresented and positionally constrained in the secretome of Phytophthora relative to other eukaryotes and robust evidence of positive selection is obtained in more than two-thirds of the examined paralog families of RXLR effectors.
Journal ArticleDOI
RXLR effectors of plant pathogenic oomycetes.
William Morgan,Sophien Kamoun +1 more
TL;DR: Oomycetes are a phylogenetically distinct group of organisms that include some of the most devastating plant pathogens, and recent characterization of four oomycete Avr genes revealed that they encode effector proteins with a common modular structure, including a N-terminal conserved RXLR motif.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three splicing patterns are used to excise the small intron common to all minute virus of mice RNAs.
William Morgan,D C Ward +1 more
TL;DR: Three splicing patterns were identified used to excise the small intron common to all three transcripts encoded by minute virus of mice-specific cDNAs, which would allow the translation of five distinct polypeptides from these two mRNAs.
