Genetic variation for resistance and tolerance to pathogens may be maintained by costs represented as genetic tradeoffs between these traits and fitness. The evolution of resistance and tolerance also may be constrained by negative genetic correlations between these defense systems. Using a complete diallel, we measured genetic variation and covariation for and among performance, resistance, and tolerance traits in Mimulus guttatus challenged with a generalist pathogen, Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). Viral coat protein was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in all inoculated plants, indicating that all plants were susceptible to infection, although the ELISA absorbance varied quantitatively across plants. Plants inoculated with CMV had significantly reduced aboveground biomass and flower production relative to controls, although date of first flower was unaffected by infection. All three of these performance traits showed moderate to high narrow-sense heritability (h2 = 0.32-0.62) in both inoculated and control plants. We found phenotypic variation for both tolerance of and resistance to our strain of CMV, but both displayed very low narrow-sense heritability (h2 &lt; 0.03). We found no evidence of a trade-off between resistance and tolerance. We also found no evidence for a cost of resistance or tolerance. In fact, a significant genetic correlation suggested that plants that were large when healthy had the greatest tolerance when infected. Significant, positive genetic correlations found between performance of uninfected and infected plants suggested that selection would likely favor the same M. guttatus genotypes whether CMV is present or not.
