The molecular basis of non-host resistance, or species-specific resistance, remains one of the major unknowns in the study of plant¿microbe interactions. In this paper, we describe the...
Ancient diversification of the Pto kinase family preceded speciation in Solanum (2001)
Martens, A., Colon, L.T., Govers, F., Kamoun, S.
Recent phylogenetic analyses of the nucleotide binding sites (NBS)-leucine-rich repeats (LRR) class of plant disease resistance (R) genes suggest that these genes are ancient and coexist next to...
