Predicting durability of a disease resistance gene based on an assessment of the fitness loss and epidemiological consequences of avirulence gene mutation

Durability of plant disease resistance ( R ) genes may be predicted if the cost of pathogen adaptation to overcome resistance is understood. Adaptation of the bacterial blight pathogen, Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae ( Xoo ), to virulence in rice is the result of the loss of pathogen avirulence gene...
