RNAi in the Rhizarian Phytopathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae: The Causal Agent of Clubroot Disease in Cruciferous Crops
ABSTRACT Although RNA interference (RNAi) is widespread and functionally important across eukaryotes, RNAi pathways are diverse or even lost in some lineages. Rhizaria represents a major and distinct eukaryotic supergroup that includes Plasmodiophora brassicae (Pb), the causal agent of cruciferous clubroot disease, yet...
