Abstract

Resistance Chitinase Molecular evolution Durable resistance PR genes R genes Selection PGIP Coevolution
Advances in research into the genetics of plant–pathogen interactions include an embracing of evolutionary ideas and methodologies. Recent studies reveal positive selection and selective maintenance of variation in plant resistance and defense-related genes. Coevolution between plants and their enemies involves many interactions at the molecular level.
