Fig. 7

A simplified evolutionary scenario for the host adaptation of Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) and P. striiformis f. sp. hordei (Psh). a-h: genomes; a, the most recent common ancestor of Puccinia spp.; b, the most recent common ancestor of P. striiformis; c-d and f-g, intermediate ancestor of Pst (e), and Psh (h), respectively. I-III: evolutionary processes; I, gene family gains and expansions during speciation; II, gene losses; III, gene losses, and/or gains, host adaptation. Black circles, conserved genes; colored circles, rapid evolving genes; solid circles, functional genes; and empty circles, loss-of-function genes
