Repeated loss of the ability of a wild pepper disease resistance gene to function at high temperatures suggests that thermoresistance is a costly trait Open
Summary Specificity in plant–pathogen gene‐for‐gene (GFG) interactions is determined by the recognition of pathogen proteins by the products of plant resistance ( R ) genes. The evolutionary dynamics of R genes in plant–virus systems is po…
