    21 isolates of Phytophthora infestans were genotyped at 12 microsatellite loci: D13, PinfSSR8, PinfSSR4, PinfSSR11, PinfSSR6a, PinfSSR3, Pi4B, Pi70, Pi63, Pi04, G11 and PinfSSR2. Binary data indicate presence (1) or absence (0) of alleles

    a<p>Six models are obtained by crossing 2 hypotheses regarding the genetic differentiation of virus populations between plants (D<sub>1</sub> and D<sub>2</sub>) with 3 hypotheses regarding the competition issue between virus variants (C<sub>1</sub> to C<sub>3</sub>). They include four to 14 parameters and were compared using Akaike information criterion (AIC) and Bayesian information criterion (BIC) to identify the model that is best supported by the data.</p>b<p>The process of genetic differentiation of the virus populations between plants, described by the scale parameter <i>θ</i> of a Dirichlet-multinomial distribution, was allowed either to be constant (<i>θ<sup>s</sup></i> = <i>θ</i>) or time varying (, for the five sampling dates ).</p>c<p>The process of virus competition within plants included the intrinsic rates of variant increase (given that ) as parameters but might undergo one of three hypotheses specifying the type of Lotka-Volterra competition coefficients .</p>d<p>−2log(Likelihood).</p

The mean fitness of the population was arbitrarily set to 1 due to identifiability constraints (<a href="http://www.plospathogens.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.ppat.1002654#ppat.1002654.s004" target="_blank">Text S1</a>). In both graphs, dots indicate the mean values of the parameter whereas segments stand for the 95% confidence interval. Arrows indicate the most likely pathway leading to the resistance-breaking variant. <b>B</b>: <i>F</i><sub>ST</sub> indices as a function of time (dpi). <i>F</i><sub>ST</sub> characterizes the degree of genetic differentiation of the virus populations between plants.

    <p><b>A</b>: Description of the four PVY variants used (NN, NH, DN and DH). Variants are named according to the amino acids at positions 119 and 121 of the VPg pathogenicity factor. All variants infect the pepper genotype Yolo Wonder (YW) but only DH infects the genotype Florida VR2 which carries the <i>pvr2<sup>2</sup></i> resistance gene. <b>B–F</b>: Frequencies of the four PVY variants in the eight plant samples collected 6, 10, 15, 24 and 35 dpi. Additionally, for each date, a bar with the mean frequencies of the variants for the eight samples is provided. <b>G</b>: Mean (± standard deviation) frequencies of the four PVY variants as a function of time (dpi). <b>H</b>: Standard deviation of the frequencies of the four PVY variants as a function of time (dpi).</p
