Evolution of RXLR-class effectors in the oomycete plant pathogen Phytophthora ramorum.

Phytophthora plant pathogens contain many hundreds of effectors potentially involved in infection of host plants. Comparative genomic analyses have shown that these effectors evolve rapidly and have been subject to recent expansions. We examined the recent sequence evolution of RXLR-class effector g...
