In silico guided structural and functional analysis of genes with potential involvement in resistance to coffee leaf rust: A functional marker based approach

Abstract excerpt

Physiology-based differentiation of SH genes and Hemileia vastatrix races is the principal method employed for the characterization of coffee leaf rust resistance. Based on the gene-for-gene theory, nine major rust resistance genes (SH1-9) have been proposed. However, these genes have not been characterized at the molecular level. Consequently, the lack of molecular data regarding rust resistance genes or...
