Genetic diversity for plant defense against microbial pathogens has been studied either by analyzing sequences of defense genes or by testing phenotypic responses to pathogens under experimental conditions. These two approaches give different but complementary information but, till date, only rare attempts at their integration have been made. Here we discuss the advances made, because of the two approaches, in understanding plant-pathogen coevolution and propose ways of integrating the two.
针对植物抵御微生物病原体的遗传多样性研究，要么是通过分析防御基因的序列，要么是在实验条件下测试对病原体的表型反应。这两种方法提供了不同但互补的信息，然而迄今为止，将它们整合的尝试却很少。在此，我们讨论由于这两种方法在理解植物 - 病原体协同进化方面所取得的进展，并提出整合这两种方法的途径。
