G.F.J.M Van Den Ackerveken, J.A.L. Van Kan, P.J.G.M. De Wit, "Molecular analysis of the avirulence gene avr9 of the fungal tomato pathogen Cladosporium fluvum fully supports the gene-for- gene hypothesis," Plant Journal, 2:359-66, 1992.

Pierre J.G.M. De Wit (Department of Phytopathology, Wageningen Agricultural University, Wageningen, the Netherlands): "Many plant pathologists interested in communication between plants and their pathogens were puzzled for many years about the molecular basis of the so-called gene-for-gene hypothesis, put forward by H.H. Flor more than 50 years ago (Phytopathology, 32:653-69, 1942). This hypothesis states that resistance of a plant against a fungal pathogen is based on interaction between a resistance gene of the plant and an avirulence gene of the invading pathogen. Such an interaction generally leads to a hypersensitive response, an active process in plants whereby a few host cells die rapidly around the site of penetration. This local death of ...
