7 important questions on Host resistance - Nomenclature of resistance genes
How is monogenic resistance typically referenced in plants?
- It refers to the gene attacker's scientific or English name.
What is observed about the nomenclature of resistance genes in tomato against Cladosporium fulvum?
- Resistance genes are named after the locus on which they are located (e.g., Cf-1).
How are genes named in flax that confer resistance to rust?
- The naming system resolves confusion by naming each code after the enemy species.
- Higher grades + faster learning

What is the disadvantage of using a letter or number system in gene nomenclature?
- The name doesn't provide a clue to the gene or locus's function.
How are alleles for resistance genes indicated?
- They are assigned in the chronological order of discovery.
