TL;DR: This chapter has catalogued genes for resistance to plant viruses and has summarized current knowledge regarding their identity and inheritance, and the genetic context, genomic organization, mechanisms of resistance and agricultural deployment of plant virus resistance genes are discussed.

TL;DR: This review focuses on practical issues associated with comparative proteomic analysis, including the challenges of effective protein extraction and separation from plant tissues, the pros and cons of two-dimensional gel-based analysis and the problems of identifying proteins from species that are not recognized models for functional genomic studies.

TL;DR: Gen mapping, allele sequence data, expression profile and silencing analysis collectively indicate that the Pun1 locus in pepper encodes a putative acyltransferase, and the pun1 allele, used in pepper breeding for nearly 50 000 years, results from a large deletion at this locus.

TL;DR: While the taxonomic specificity of host R genes may be evolving rapidly, general functions of R alleles may be conserved at homologous loci in related plant genera.

TL;DR: Details of approaches used by others and ourselves for gene expression profiling in plants with emphasis on cDNA microarrays are provided and discussion of both experimental design and downstream analysis are discussed.
