Using Synthetic Gene Clusters to Model Resistance Gene Evolution by Meiotic Recombination in Arabidopsis thaliana
Plants have evolved multiple surveillance mechanisms to detect the presence of disease-causing organisms. One mode of surveillance is based on dozens of constitutively expressed resistance (R) genes. R genes recognize pathogen gene products as signals of invasion. We are interested in how plants...
