A combination of conserved and diverged responses underlies Theobroma cacao’s defense response to Phytophthora palmivora

Abstract Background Plants have complex and dynamic immune systems that have evolved to resist pathogens. Humans have worked to enhance these defenses in crops through breeding. However, many crops harbor only a fraction of the genetic diversity present in wild relatives. Increased utilization of di...
