| Title | Molecular cloning of the pepper recessive resistance gene pvr2 for resistance to potyviruses |
| Participants | Carole Caranta (Leader) Alain Palloix Christophe Robaglia |
| Period | 1999 and after |
| Description | A natural recessive resistance gene against potyviruses in pepper was demonstrated to correspond to the eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4E. This study corresponds to the molecular characterization of the first natural recessive resistance gene against a plant virus. |
| Descriptors | translation initiation factor eIF4E |
| Viruses | Potato virus Y Tobacco etch virus |
| Plants | Capsicum |
| Crops | Pepper |
| Genetic resistances | pvr2 - pepper |
