loadGene {landsepi}

Load a gene

Description

Creates a data.frame containing parameters of a gene depending of his type

Usage

loadGene(name, type = "majorGene")

Arguments

name

name of the gene

type

type of the gene: "majorGene", "APR", "QTL" or "immunity" (default = "majorGene")

Details

• "majorGene" means a completely efficient gene that can be broken down via a single pathogen mutation

• "APR" means a major gene that is active only after a delay of 30 days after planting

• "QTL" means a partial resistance (50% efficiency) that requires several pathogen mutations to be completely eroded

• "immunity" means a completely efficient resistance that the pathogen has no way to adapt (i.e. the cultivar is non-host).

For different scenarios, the data.frame can be manually updated later.

Value

a data.frame with gene parameters

gene2 <- loadGene(name = "Lr34", type = "APR")
