description The gene-for-gene model proposed by H. H. Flor has been one of the fundamental precepts of plant-pathogen interactions that has underpinned decades of research towards our current concepts of plant immunity. The broad validity of this model as an elegant and accurate genetic description of specific recognition events between the products of plant resistance (R) and pathogen avirulence (Avr) genes has been demonstrated many times over in a wide variety of plant disease systems. In recent years detailed molecular and structural analyses have provided a deep understanding of the principles by which plant immune receptors recognize pathogen effectors, including providing molecular descriptions of many of the genetic loci in flax and flax rust characterized by Flor. Recent advances in molecular and structural understanding of immune receptor recognition and activation mechanisms have brought the field to a new level, where rational design of novel receptors through engineering approaches is becoming a realizable goal.
