Abstract excerpt
The capacity of plants to counter the challenge of pathogenic fungal attack depends in part on the ability of plant defense proteins to overcome fungal resistance by being able to recognize and eradicate the invading fungi. Fungal genes that control resistance to plant defense proteins are therefore important determinants that define the range of fungi from which an induced defense protein can protect the plant....
