| Comparative genomics and synteny studies revealing the reservoir secreted proteins Phytophthora Rays Jiang Brett Tyler and Francine Govers Plant Sciences Group Laboratory Phytopathology ageningen University and Graduate School Experimental Plant Sciences The Netherlands Virginia Bioinformatics Institute Virginia Polytechnic and State University Blacksburg USA Pathogenic fungi and oomycetes possess wide range molecules interact with their hosts Proteins secreted plant pathogens are ultimate interest because these proteins might effector molecules that play important roles pathogenesis The presence signal peptides and transmembrane domains was analyzed all annotated genes two sequenced Phytophthora genomes revealing the whole reservoir secreted proteins total and putative secreted protein genes from sojae and ramorum respectively were investigated for their sequence diversity expansion family members and genome organization More than the secreted protein genes form gene families and many the families are clustered the genome Differences expansion gene families different Phytophthora spp were observed and these expansion patterns may explain the difference their pathogenicity Some genes are located genomic regions having many arrangements and insertions deletions and these hotspots are particular interesting explore Developing lichen model system Suzanne Joneson and Fran ois Lutzoni Duke University Durham USA Lichens are the mutualistic association fungus and alga This successfu | |||||||||
