Stepwise Arms Race Between AvrPik and Pik Alleles in the Rice Blast Pathosystem

A stepwise mutation that occurred in both pathogens and their respective hosts has played a seminal role in the co-evolutionary arms race evolution in diverse pathosystems. The process driven by rice blast AvrPik and Pik alleles was investigated through population genetic and evolutionary approaches...
