Abstract excerpt
We examined patterns of variation and the extent of local adaptation in the interaction between the highly selfing annual weed Arabidopsis thaliana and its foliar bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas viridiflava by cross-infecting 23 bacterial isolates with 35 plant lines collected from six fallow or cultivated fields in the Midwest, USA. We used two measures of resistance and virulence: bacterial count in the leaf and...
