Rapidly evolving gene families in Puccinia striiformis. a Gene family evolution in 16 fungal plant pathogen genomes. Protein families were assigned using OrthoFinder. The topologies and numbers of gene family gains and losses were estimated using the DOLLOP program from PHYLIP. The positive and negative numbers on the branches represent the numbers of gene families gained and lost, respectively, during the evolution compared to the putative pan-proteome. The numbers in blue ovals correspond to the inferred ancestral protein families along each lineage. b, c Chromosomal synteny of two representative regions harboring genes involved in loss events. Blue arrows represent conserved genes, while predicted genes involved in loss events are shown in green and black blocks represent homology to known transposable element families. Yellow to red shades indicate the levels of sequence similarity based on the blast E-values
