Why do pathogens carry avirulence genes?

1999-10-01

Abstract excerpt

In the gene-for-gene hypothesis, Flor proposed the existence of avirulence alleles of virulence genes, and that the virulence genes actively conditioned cultivar-specific virulence on hosts. Yet cultivar-specific virulence genes have not been found, and many of the avirulence (avr) genes cloned to date (over 40) do not appear to condition pathogenicity in general, virulence or anything else of value to the microbe...
