Coevolution between a family of parasite virulence effectors and a class of LINE-1 retrotransposons.

Coevolution between a family of parasite virulence effectors and a class of LINE-1 retrotransposons.

Parasites are able to evolve rapidly and overcome host defense mechanisms, but the molecular basis of this adaptation is poorly understood. Powdery mildew fungi (Erysiphales, Ascomycota) are obligate biotrophic parasites infecting nearly 10,000 plant genera. They obtain their nutrients from host pla...
