KEY MESSAGE: The common bean locus Co - 4, traditionally referred to as an anthracnose-resistant gene, contains a cluster of predicted receptor-like kinases (COK-4 and CrRLK1-like), and at least two of these kinases are co-regulated with the plant's basal immunity. Genetic resistance to anthracnose, caused by the fungus Colletotrichum lindemuthianum (Sacc. and Magnus) Briosi and Cavara, is conferred by major loci...
