Abstract

Oomycetes are notorious plant pathogens. It is known that genetically distinct oomycete strains can mate to increase their genetic diversity and virulence. A new paper finally reveals the genomic locus that may govern sexual compatibility in one oomycete species.

摘要

卵菌是臭名昭著的植物病原体。众所周知，遗传上不同的卵菌菌株可以交配以增加其遗传多样性和毒性。一篇新论文终于揭示了可能控制一种卵菌物种有性相容性的基因组位点。
