Evolution of gene-for-gene systems in metapopulations: the effect of spatial scale of host and pathogen dispersal.
2002-04-01
Abstract excerpt
The concept of gene-for-gene coevolution is a major model for research on disease resistance in crop plants. However, few theoretical or empirical studies have examined such systems in natural situations, and as a consequence, there is little knowledge of how spatial effects are likely to influence the evolution of host resistance and pathogen virulence in gene-for-gene interactions. In this work, a simulation app...
