Abstract excerpt
Plant disease resistance genes have been shown to be subject to positive selection, particularly in the leucine rich repeat (LRR) region that may determine resistance specificity. We performed a genome-wide analysis of positive selection in members of the nucleotide binding site (NBS)-LRR gene family of Arabidopsis thaliana. Analyses were possible for 103 of 163 NBS-LRR nucleotide sequences in the genome, and the...
