21 SSR genotype / effectors alleles alleles combinations origin SSR genotype number of isolates Avr-vnt1 AvrSmira Norway Poland

22 SSR genotype / effectors alleles alleles combinations origin SSR genotype number of isolates Avr-vnt1 AvrSmira Norway Poland

23 conclusions Avr-vnt1 high conservation polymorphisms unrelated to virulence no selection pressure AvrSmira1 highly diversified (most polymorphic sites located in C-terminal region) positions 156 and 170 may be related to virulence not the only mechanism of avoiding recognition (presence of virulent isolates without the M 156 R 170 polymorphism) selection pressure acting on amino acid positions eight positions consistent with previous research (Rietman et al., 2012) isolates belonging to the same SSR genotype contain different alleles of the Avr-vnt1 (1 Polish SSR genotype) and AvrSmira1 (1 Norwegian, 4 Polish) two/multi-compartment genome
