Clusters of resistance genes in plants evolve by divergent selection and a birth-and-death process.

Genome research - 1 Nov 1998

Michelmore R W, Meyers B C

Abstract excerpt

Classical genetic and molecular data show that genes determining disease resistance in plants are frequently clustered in the genome. Genes for resistance (R genes) to diverse pathogens cloned from several species encode proteins that have motifs in common. These motifs indicate that R genes are part of signal-transduction systems. Most of these R genes encode a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) region. Sequences...
