interfamily transfer of tomato ve1 mediates verticillium resistance in arabidopsis. | vascular wilts caused by soil-borne fungal species of the verticillium genus are devastating plant diseases. the most common species, v. dahliae and v. albo-atrum, have broad host ranges and are notoriously difficult to control. therefore, genetic resistance is the preferred method for disease control. only from tomato (solanum lycopersicum) a verticillium resistance locus has been cloned, comprising the ve1 gene that encodes a receptor-like protein-type cell surface receptor. due to lack of a s ... | 2011 | 21617027 |
