The authors hereby retract their review article titled “Pathogen virulence of Phytophthora infestans: from gene to functional genomics” (Sanju et al. 2013), previously published in print and online versions of the journal Physiology and Molecular Biology of Plants, due to unattributed use of some text from articles previously published elsewhere without permission (Govers and Gizjen 2006; Huitema et al. 2005; Kamoun 2003; Widmark 2010). This decision was taken to avoid repetition and for the upkeep of professional ethics. All authors sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.
