Fitness benefit plays a vital role in the retention of the <i>Pi-ta</i> susceptible alleles
2020-07-31
Abstract excerpt
In plants, large numbers of R genes, which segregate as loci with alternative alleles conferring different resistance to pathogens, have been maintained over a long evolutionary time. In theory, there seem to be no reason for hosts to harbor these susceptible alleles in view of their null contribution to resistance. As such, why should populations support disease-susceptible individuals along with disease-resista...
