Population studies of the wild tomato species <i>Solanum chilense</i> reveal geographically structured major gene-mediated pathogen resistance
2020-05-31
Abstract excerpt
Natural plant populations encounter strong pathogen pressure and defense-associated genes are known to be under different selection pressure dependent on the pressure by the pathogens. Here we use wild tomato Solanum chilense populations to investigate natural resistance against Cladosporium fulvum , a well-known pathogenic fungus of domesticated tomatoes. We show that populations of S. chilense differ in resis...
