Balancing selection at the tomato RCR3 Guardee gene family maintains variation in strength of pathogen defense.
Coevolution between hosts and pathogens is thought to occur between interacting molecules of both species. This results in the maintenance of genetic diversity at pathogen antigens (or so-called effectors) and host resistance genes such as the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in mammals or res...
