The emergence of the multi‐species NIP1 effector in Rhynchosporium was accompanied by high rates of gene duplications and losses

Summary Plant pathogens secrete effector proteins to manipulate the host and facilitate infection. Cognate hosts trigger strong defence responses upon detection of these effectors. Consequently, pathogens and hosts undergo rapid coevolutionary arms races driven by adaptive evolution of effectors and...
