Allelic Variation in the Effector Genes of the Tomato Pathogen Cladosporium fulvum Reveals Different Modes of Adaptive Evolution

The allelic variation in four avirulence (Avr) and four extracellular protein (Ecp)–encoding genes of the tomato pathogen Cladosporium fulvum was analyzed for a worldwide collection of strains. The majority of polymorphisms observed in the Avr genes are deletions, point mutations, or insertions of t...
