PLoS Biol 5 (2007) 1962-1972. This article emphasizes an original cost of R-gene resistance in Arabidopsis. Crosses of A. thaliana families can occasionally result in hybrid necrosis because of epistatic interactions between resistance genes, a phenomenon analogous to an autoimmune disease.

Mol Ecol 12 (2003) 263-273. An excellent study on resistance diversity in a plant-pathogen system at various spatial scales, with simultaneous comparison of genetic and phenotypic variability.
