Their analysis indicates that solvent-exposed residues play a role in ligand binding.

This paper provides additional evidence that resistance-like gene sequences (RLGs) map as clusters. On the basis of comparative mapping studies of monocot RLGs, the authors suggest that R genes diverge more rapidly than the rest of the genome.
