In silico characterisation of the avocado WAK/WAKL gene family with a focus on genes involved in defence against Phytophthora cinnamomi

The avocado industry faces a significant threat from the hemibiotrophic oomycete pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi. A variably expressed defence gene during an avocado infection trial was a Wall-associated kinase (WAK). WAK and WAK-Like (WAKL) proteins are known to bind to fragmented pectin (oligogala...
