The Sw-5 Gene Cluster: Tomato Breeding and Research Toward Orthotospovirus Disease Control

The Sw-5 gene cluster encodes protein receptors that are potentially able to recognize microbial products and activate signaling pathways that lead to plant cell immunity. Although there are several Sw-5 homologs in the tomato genome, only one of them, named Sw-5b, has been extensively studied due t...
