Abstract excerpt
Genetic resistance to pathogens is important for sustainable maintenance of crop yields. Recent biotechnologies offer alternative approaches to generate resistant plants by compensating for the lack of natural resistance. Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and related species offer a model in which natural and TILLING-induced potyvirus resistance alleles may be compared. For resistance based on translation initiation...
