Abstract excerpt
Tomato Cf genes encode membrane-bound proteins with extracellular leucine-rich repeats, and confer resistance to the fungal tomato pathogen Cladosporium fulvum, and a hypersensitive response (HR) to C. fulvum-derived race-specific elicitors. Several Cf genes, including Cf-4 and Cf-9, are members of the highly homologous Hcr9 (homologues of C. fulvumresistance gene Cf-9) gene family. Hcr9s evolve mainly by...
