Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The NBS disease-related gene family coordinates the inherent immune system in plants in response to pathogen infections. Previous studies have identified NBS-encoding genes in Pyrus bretschneideri ('Dangshansuli', an Asian pear) and Pyrus communis ('Bartlett', a European pear) genomes, but the patterns of genetic variation and selection pressure on these genes during pear domestication have remained...
