Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Three NBS-LRR genes, Rpi-blb2, Mi-1.2, and Cami, constitute a very special plant resistance gene family. These genes confer resistance against 4 distantly related pathogen species in 3 different Solanaceae hosts. To characterize this noted resistance, we conducted a series of studies on this gene family. RESULTS: First, homologs of this gene family were identified in the pepper, tomato and potato...
