The genetic basis of quantitative variation in susceptibility of Arabidopsis thaliana to Pseudomonas syringae (Pst DC3000): evidence for a new genetic factor of large effect.

Abstract excerpt

* Pathogens represent an important threat to plant communities and agriculture, and can shape many aspects of plant evolution. Natural variation in plant disease susceptibility is typically quantitative, yet studies on the molecular basis of disease resistance have focused mainly on qualitative variation. * Here we investigated the genetic architecture of quantitative susceptibility to the bacterium Pseudomonas...
