The hidden duplication past of the plant pathogen Phytophthora and its consequences for infection
Abstract Background Oomycetes of the genus Phytophthora are pathogens that infect a wide miscellaneous range of plant species.For dicot hosts such as tomato, potato and soybean, Phytophthora is even the most important pathogen.Previous analyses of Phytophthora genomes uncovered many genes, large gene families and large genome sizes that can partial
