Acosta-Leal Rodolfo, Xiong Zhongguo
Abstract excerpt
The emergence of resistance breaking (RB) variants starting from the avirulent Potato virus Y NN strain (PVY(NN)) was analyzed after imposing different selective host constraints. Tobacco resistance to PVY(NN) is conferred by va in both NC745 and VAM genotypes, but VAM carries an extra resistance gene, va2. RB-variants emerged only in NC745 and unexpectedly accumulated higher in the original host, tobacco B21,...
