Molecular Genetics of Pathogenic Oomycetes

Open access

Abstract

Parasitic and pathogenic lifestyles have evolved repeatedly in eukaryotes (93). Several parasitic eukaryotes represent deep phylogenetic lineages, suggesting that they feature unique molecular processes for infecting their hosts. One such group is formed by the oomycetes. Traditionally, due to their filamentous growth habit, oomycetes have been classified in the kingdom Fungi. However, modern molecular and biochemical analyses suggest that oomycetes have little taxonomic affinity with filamentous fungi but are more closely related to brown algae (heterokonts) in the Stramenopiles, one of several major eukaryotic kingdoms (2, 56, 93). The most notable and best-studied oomycete species is Phytophthora infestans, the Irish famine pathogen. P. infestans causes late blight, a devastating and reemerging disease of potatoes and tomatoes (4, 17, 18, 82, 90-92). Other oomycetes include destructive plant and animal pathogens, as well as saprophytes that are beneficial to the environment (56).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
