Population genetic evidence for rapid changes in intraspecific diversity and allelic cycling of a specialist defense gene in Zea.

Genetics - 1 Sept 2004

Tiffin Peter, Hacker Robert, Gaut Brandon S

Abstract excerpt

Two patterns of plant defense gene evolution are emerging from molecular population genetic surveys. One is that specialist defenses experience stronger selection than generalist defenses. The second is that specialist defenses are more likely to be subject to balancing selection, i.e., evolve in a manner consistent with balanced-polymorphism or trench-warfare models of host-parasite coevolution. Because most of...
