Notes:
Summary Existing theoretical models have led to conflicting predictions concerning the likely effect of the widespread use of dirty crop multilines on the evolution of virulence in pathogen populations. Here we attempt to clarify these problems by extending existing models to include selection against unnecessary genes for virulence at two different stages in the life cycle of the pathogen. The results of these studies indicate that the stage of the life cycle at which selection occurs can significantly influence the evolution of virulence in pathogen populations growing on multiline varieties.
