Abstract excerpt

Genes in plants that confer race-specific resistance to rusts and mildews are widely exploited in agriculture and can prevent huge losses at little cost. However, nothing is known of the molecular basis of their action. Genetic studies, together with observations of responses at the ultrastructur...
