Genomic investigation of the strawberry pathogen Phytophthora fragariae indicates pathogenicity is associated with transcriptional variation in three key races

Thomas M. Adams, Andrew D. Armitage, Maria K. Sobczyk, Helen J. Bates, Javier F. Tabima, Brent A. Kronmiller, Brett M. Tyler, Niklaus J. Grünwald, Jim M. Dunwell, Charlotte Florence Nellist, Richard J. Harrison

This paper investigates the genomic variation in Phytophthora fragariae to identify pathogenicity-associated genes and finds that transcriptional variation, not sequence polymorphisms, is linked to race-specific avirulence.
