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, resp...
