Evolution of virulence in fungal plant pathogens: exploiting fungal genomics to control plant disease.

abstract：:Molecular and ultrastructural investigations are revealing unrealized diversity among chytrids as the taxonomic revision of order Chytridiales (Chytridiomycota) progresses. During a biodiversity survey of soil-inhabiting chytrids in Australia an undescribed chytrid was isolated from a soil sample collected in a cool t...
