Abstract

Summary We show here that the pvr2 locus in pepper, conferring recessive resistance against strains of potato virus Y (PVY), corresponds to a eukaryotic initiation factor 4E ( eIF4E ) gene. RFLP analysis on the PVY‐susceptible and resistant pepper cultivars, using an eIF4E cDNA from tobacco as probe...
