Avirulence on Ve1 (Ave1)

Avirulence on Ve1 is a protein first described from the fungal plant-pathogen, "Verticillium dahliae", and is encoded by the "Ave1" gene.
The presence of "Ave1" in an isolate of "Verticillium dahliae" conveys an avirulence phenotype when infecting a Tomato host that possesses the R-gene "Ve1".
Orthologous genes.
Orthologs of "Ave1" have been identified in a number of plant pathogenic fungi.
