Contrasting genetic variation and positive selection followed the divergence of NBS-encoding genes in Asian and European pears

Abstract Background The NBS disease-related gene family coordinates the inherent immune system in plants in response to pathogen infections. Previous studies have identified NBS-encoding genes in Pyrus bretschneideri (‘Dangshansuli’, an Asian pear) and Pyrus communis (‘Bartlett’, a European pear) ge...
