Journal ArticleDOI

The long-term maintenance of a resistance polymorphism through diffuse interactions

TL;DR: This work identifies a naturally interacting R gene and effector pair in Arabidopsis thaliana and its facultative plant pathogen, Pseudomonas syringae and finds evidence that selection for RPS5 involves multiple non-homologous effectors and multiple pathogen species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Continua of specificity and virulence in plant host-pathogen interactions: causes and consequences.

TL;DR: These continua of specificity and virulence inherent within plant host-pathogen interactions are described and compared to outline consequences for epidemiology and community structure, explore likely ecological and evolutionary drivers, and highlight several key areas for future research.
Journal ArticleDOI

Salicylic acid and jasmonic acid signaling defense pathways reduce natural bacterial diversity on Arabidopsis thaliana.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that variation in two specific plant-signaling defense pathways can influence bacterial diversity on plants and there was a positive relationship between total community size and diversity, indicating that relatively susceptible plants should, in general, harbor higher bacterial diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI

SAR increases fitness of Arabidopsis thaliana in the presence of natural bacterial pathogens.

TL;DR: It is found that Arabidopsis thaliana treated with salicylic acid exhibited reduced titers of bacteria in their leaves and elevated fitness relative to controls, consistent with the role of SAR as a broad spectrum defense.
