Variable leucine-rich repeats of tomato disease resistance genes Cf-2 and Cf-5 determine specificity
The tomato Cf-2 and Cf-5 genes confer race specific resistance to infection by the leaf mould pathogen Cladosporium fulvum. The encoded proteins induce a defence response upon recognition of the fungal Avr2 and Avr5 determinants, respectively. Each resistance protein is comprised largely of leucine-...
