Rapid breakdown of Cf-6-mediated immunity in tomato through loss or mutation of the Avr6 effector gene in Fulvia fulva

Christiaan R. Schol, Like Fokkens, Anan Hu…·Carl H. Mesarich

The paper identifies Avr6 as the effector gene in Fulvia fulva that overcomes Cf-6-mediated immunity in tomato, showing its loss or mutation leads to resistance breakdown.
