Summary Introduction
To review:
The effects of each fungal strain of Cladosporium on tomato leaves when it was affected by the
Introduction:
Cladosporium can drastically infect the tomato plants as they cause necrosis and leads to plants death. R genotypes in the diagram represent resistance genes of tomato plants and pathogen genes are called Avr genes, where Avr stands for avirulence.
The table depicts the effect of strain Avr1Avr2 on the tomato strains R1R2, R3R4, and R1R4.
