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...
