Abstract
Resistance gene (R gene)-mediated plant immunity confers strong and specific protection against plant-invading pathogens but can be rapidly overcome by those with high evolutionary capacity, such as viruses (Fabre et al., 2012). In contrast, plant tolerance does not prevent pathogen propagation but reduces the detrimental effects of infection on host fitness (Pagan and Garcia-Arenal, 2020).
