Genetic diversity and the evolutionary history of plant immunity genes in two species of Zea.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Dec 2005

Moeller David A, Tiffin Peter

Abstract excerpt

Plant pathogenesis-related genes (PR genes) code for enzymes, enzyme inhibitors, and other peptides that confer resistance to pathogens and herbivores. Although several PR genes have been the subject of molecular population genetic analyses, a general understanding of their long-term evolutionary dynamics remains incomplete. Here we analyze sequence data from 17 PR genes from two closely related teosinte species...
