Abstract excerpt
The wealth of variability amongst genes controlling immunity against potyviruses in pepper (Capsicum spp.) has been instrumental in understanding plant-virus co-evolution and major determinants of plant resistance durability. Characterization of the eukaryotic initiation factor 4E1 (eIF4E1), involved in mRNA translation, as the basis of potyvirus resistance in pepper initiated a large body of work that showed...
