A whole genome duplication drives the genome evolution of Phytophthora betacei, a closely related species to Phytophthora infestans

Abstract Background Pathogens of the genus Phytophthora are the etiological agents of many devastating diseases in several high-value crops and forestry species such as potato, tomato, cocoa, and oak, among many others. Phytophthora betacei is a recently described species that causes late blight alm...
