title: Plant-pathogen arms races at the molecular level.
abstract: Advances in research into the genetics of plant-pathogen interactions include an embracing of evolutionary ideas and methodologies. Recent studies reveal positive selection and selective maintenance of variation in plant resistance and defense-related genes. Coevolution between plants and their enemies involves many interactions at the molecular level.
