Abstract excerpt
The avirulence gene Avr4 conditions avirulence of the biotrophic fungus Cladosporium fulvum on tomato genotypes carrying resistance gene Cf-4 (MM-Cf4). Strains of the fungus that circumvent Cf-4-specific resistance show various single point mutations in the coding region of the Avr4 gene. Similar to expression of the Avr4 gene, expression of the various virulent avr4 alleles is specifically induced during...
