Genome-Wide Signatures of Selection in Colletotrichum kahawae Reveal Candidate Genes Potentially Involved in Pathogenicity and Aggressiveness

Plants and their pathogens are engaged in continuous evolutionary battles, with pathogens evolving to circumvent plant defense mechanisms and plants responding through enhanced protection to prevent or mitigate damage induced by pathogen attack. Managed ecosystems are composed of genetically identic...
