Article Synopsis
- Natural plant populations, like wild tomatoes, face strong pressure from pathogens, leading to the evolution of resistance genes that vary by location.
- Different regional populations of wild tomatoes show significant differences in their resistance to a particular ascomycete pathogen affecting domesticated tomatoes, with southern populations demonstrating complete loss of recognition.
- The study reveals that the complexity of resistance genes is greater than expected, suggesting that localized gene recombination helps maintain genetic diversity in populations under pathogen pressure.
