Genes in plants that confer race-specific resistance to rusts and mildews are widely exploited in agriculture and can prevent huge losses at little cost. However, nothing is known of the molecular basis of their action. Genetic studies, together with observations of responses at the ultrastructural level, can provide broad insights into how resistance is achieved, which may help in cloning resistance genes.
植物中赋予对锈病和白粉病具有小种特异性抗性的基因在农业中得到广泛利用，并且能以低成本防止巨大损失。然而，对于其作用的分子基础却一无所知。遗传学研究以及超微结构水平上的反应观察，可以为抗性是如何实现的提供广泛的见解，这可能有助于克隆抗性基因。
