Abstract

Food loss due to pathogens is a major concern in agriculture, requiring the need for advanced disease detection and prevention measures to minimize pathogen damage to plants. Novel bioinformatic tools have opened doors for the low-cost rapid identification of pathogens and prevention of disease. The number of these tools is growing fast and a comprehensive and comparative summary of these resources is currently lacking. Here, we review all current bioinformatic tools used to identify the mechanisms of pathogen pathogenicity, plant resistance protein identification, and the detection and treatment of plant disease. We compare functionality, data volume, data sources, performance, and applicability of all tools to provide a comprehensive toolbox for researchers in plant disease management.
