Frequency-Dependent Selection in Plant-Fungal Interactions [and Discussion]

A simple genetic model based on Haldane's arguments about the evolution of host-parasite interaction is described and its applicability and limitations with respect to plant-fungus interactions is discussed. The basic form of frequency-dependent selection envisaged by Haldane can be demonstrate...

Description
Summary:A simple genetic model based on Haldane's arguments about the evolution of host-parasite interaction is described and its applicability and limitations with respect to plant-fungus interactions is discussed. The basic form of frequency-dependent selection envisaged by Haldane can be demonstrated in agricultural systems, but no data are available from natural systems.
