The generation of rp1 diversity is promoted by a high rate of intragenic recombination coupled with a tendency for genes in the complex to mispair in meiosis. Among the novel rp1 genes that have been identified include genes with novel race-specificities and genes conferring lesion mimic phenotypes. Recombinants have also been identified that confer partial resistance which is apparently non-race-specific and may be useful in controlling maize rusts in a durable manner DO - https://doi.org/10.1146/annurev.phyto.35.1.293 T2 - Annual Review of PhytoPathology ER -
