Summary: We identified how Eriosoma lanigerum (WAA) colonizes apple using genome and transcriptome profiling. We found effectors enable colonization, differ among populations, and that genotype and population specific responses in apple exist. These data help track WAA resistance at local, regional, and global levels, and reveal processes underlying rootstock performance.
