Abstract excerpt
Host genotype specificity in interactions between biotrophic pathogens and plants in most cases complies with the gene-for-gene model; success or failure of infection is determined by absence or presence of complementary genes, avirulence and resistance genes, in the pathogen and host plant, respectively. Resistance, expressed by the induction of a hypersensitive response in the host, is envisaged to be based on...
