Plant resistance genes: their structure, function and evolution.
2000-10-01
Abstract excerpt
Plants have developed efficient mechanisms to avoid infection or to mount responses that render them resistant upon attack by a pathogen. One of the best-studied defence mechanisms is based on gene-for-gene resistance through which plants, harbouring specific resistance (R) genes, specifically recognise pathogens carrying matching avirulence (Avr) genes. Here a review of the R genes that have been cloned is given....
