Abstract
Genetic diversity for plant defense against microbial pathogens has been studied either by analyzing sequences of defense genes or by testing phenotypic responses to pathogens under experimental conditions. These two approaches give different but complementary information but, till date, only rare attempts at their integration have been made. Here we discuss the advances made, because of the two approaches, in understanding plant-pathogen coevolution and propose ways of integrating the two.Mesh:
