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.

This study uses pollen sequencing to analyze recombination patterns in tomato hybrids, identifying coldspots and their association with transposable elements and gene complexes, and proposes strategies to overcome recombination barriers.
