Geographical gradient of the eIF4E alleles conferring resistance to potyviruses in pea (Pisum) germplasm.

BACKGROUND: The eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E was shown to be involved in resistance against several potyviruses in plants, including pea. We combined our knowledge of pea germplasm diversity with that of the eIF4E gene to identify novel genetic diversity. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDING...
