Molecular evolution of plant immune system genes.

Trends in genetics : TIG - 1 Dec 2006

Tiffin Peter, Moeller David A

Abstract excerpt

Molecular population genetic studies are providing new perspectives on the evolution of genes that confer resistance to pathogens and herbivores. Here, we compare the evolutionary history of different components of the defense response (detection, signaling and response) and of genes with parallel function in plants and Drosophila. A review of the literature indicates that the dominant form of selection acting on...
