The birth and death of effectors in rapidly evolving filamentous pathogen genomes  | SCIENCES DU VEGETAL | Scoop.it
Highlights

Plant pathogens produce effectors to interfere with host defences and metabolism.


Effector genes are among the most rapidly evolving genes in pathogen populations.


Transcriptional control evolved in tandem with the chromosomal location of effectors.


Chromosomal rearrangements are at the origin of high effector gain and loss rates.
