Evidence for Adaptive Introgression of Disease Resistance Genes Among Closely Related Arabidopsis Species

The generation and maintenance of functional variation in the pathogen defense system of plants is central to the constant evolutionary battle between hosts and parasites. If a species is susceptible to a given pathogen, hybridization and subsequent introgression of a resistance allele from a relate...
