This study shows that mitochondrial glycolytic and phosphorylated serine biosynthesis pathways in Phytophthora contribute to fitness, with their roles in metabolism and pathogenicity revealed through gene knockouts and metabolomic analysis.

The paper identifies a conserved gene cluster linking mating type to hormone biosynthesis in Phytophthora species and shows species-specific mechanisms for mating type regulation.

This paper presents the genome of Peronospora belbahrii, revealing high heterozygosity, a small secretome, and CT-rich promoters, and suggests additional virulence factors.
