Gene-for-Gene Interactions in Rust Fungi and Rathjen explain how gene-for-gene interactions in rust fungi are important for economic gain. They suggest that knowing the genetics and co-evolution of gene-for-gene interactions can help strengthen plant immune systems, which will provide more efficient growth of crops. Gene-for-Gene Interactions in Rust Fungi The study of gene-for-gene interactions uncovers genetic components, evolutionary impacts, and ecological/economic implications between rust fungi and plants. Rust fungi utilize the gene-for-gene interaction to invade host plants. Conversely, host plants utilize the gene-for-gene interaction to prevent invasion of rust fungi. Gene-for-gene interactions between plants and rust fungi are helping us further understand the ecology and
