Figure 1
The qualitative–quantitative duality of plant disease resistance from the population biology and molecular biology points of view. The figure illustrates the qualitative (left panels) and quantitative (right panels) nature of resistance. From a population biology point of view (A), the disease resistance phenotype follows a binary ‘susceptible or resistance’ distribution for qualitative resistance, but a continuous distribution from susceptibility towards resistance for quantitative resistance. From a molecular biology point of view (B), qualitative resistance results from the perception of a single pathogen effector (Avr) by a plant resistance (R) gene, whereas quantitative resistance results from the integration of multiple perception pathways activated simultaneously, each having a relatively minor contribution to the overall resistance phenotype. QDR, quantitative disease resistance.
