Additional file 12 of A whole genome duplication drives the genome evolution of Phytophthora betacei, a closely related species to Phytophthora infestans
Phytophthora cinnamomi is a pathogenic oomycete that causes plant dieback disease across a range of natural ecosystems and in many agriculturally important crops on a global scale. An annotated draft
The Sanger Institute sequenced and annotated two BAC clones derived from Phytophthora infestans. They also fingerprinted additional Phytophthora infestans BAC clones.
Due to the monocultural basis of agricultural crops, mutated plant microbes with increased pathogenicity can easily spread in the field and lead to serious yield losses. As a major threat to a wide ra
