Genome Organization and Evolution of the AVR-Pita Avirulence Gene Family in the Magnaporthe grisea Species Complex
The avirulence (AVR) gene AVR-Pita in Magnaporthe oryzae prevents the fungus from infecting rice cultivars containing the resistance gene Pi-ta. A survey of isolates of the M. grisea species complex from diverse hosts showed that AVR-Pita is a member of a gene family, which led us to rename it to AV...
