Bacterial Spot of Pepper (PP362)

McAvoy, Roberts and Jones on bacterial spot of pepper. Sets out the race structure of Xanthomonas euvesicatoria on pepper as eleven races, 0 through 10, defined by their interaction with the Bs1, Bs2, Bs3 and Bs4c host resistance genes, and tabulates which races each dominant gene protects against. That table is what turns a gene name printed in a seed catalog into a statement a grower can act on, because it says which races the gene does not cover.
