Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation The Lactuca sativa–Bremia lactucae interaction fits a gene-for-gene model.
- Observation Bremia virulence frequencies change drastically and vary greatly within subpopulations.
- Observation Bremia sexual recombination probably occurs frequently in lettuce crops.
- Observation Variation is consistent with a diploid outcrossing organism with frequent recombination.
- Mechanism High frequencies of unnecessary virulence genes are probably due to linkage with necessary virulence genes.
