| Description | This cluster of papers focuses on plant pathology, particularly the resistance of common beans and other crops to fungal diseases caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. It explores the role of oxalic acid, germin-like proteins, and quantitative trait loci in conferring resistance, as well as the use of molecular markers for breeding and genome analysis. |
