Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E was shown to be involved in resistance against several potyviruses in plants, including pea. We combined our knowledge of pea germplasm diversity with that of the eIF4E gene to identify novel genetic diversity. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Germplasm of 2803 pea accessions was screened for eIF4E intron 3 length polymorphism, resulting in the detection...
