Natural variation in the Pto disease resistance gene within species of wild tomato (Lycopersicon). II. Population genetics of Pto.
Disease resistance to the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst) in the host species Lycopersicon esculentum, the cultivated tomato, and the closely related L. pimpinellifolium is triggered by the physical interaction between the protein products of the host resistance (R) gene Pto and the pathogen avirulence genes AvrPto and AvrPtoB. Sequence variation at the Pto locus was su...
متن کاملNatural variation in the Pto pathogen resistance gene within species of wild tomato (Lycopersicon). I. Functional analysis of Pto alleles.
Disease resistance to the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst) in the cultivated tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum, and the closely related L. pimpinellifolium is triggered by the physical interaction between plant disease resistance protein, Pto, and the pathogen avirulence protein, AvrPto. To investigate the extent to which variation in the Pto gene is responsible for natura...
متن کاملThe cloned avirulence gene avrPto induces disease resistance in tomato cultivars containing the Pto resistance gene.
Resistance of tomato plants to the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato race 0 is controlled by the locus Pto. A bacterial avirulence gene was cloned by constructing a cosmid library from an avirulent P. syringae pv. tomato race, conjugating the recombinants into a strain of P. syringae pv. maculicola virulent on a tomato cultivar containing Pto, and screening for those clones tha...
متن کاملAncient origin of pathogen recognition specificity conferred by the tomato disease resistance gene Pto.
We have investigated the origin of the Pto disease resistance (R) gene that was previously identified in the wild tomato species Lycopersicon pimpinellifolium and isolated by map-based cloning. Pto encodes a serine-threonine protein kinase that specifically recognizes strains of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst) that express the avirulence gene avrPto. We examined an accession of the distan...
متن کاملIntergeneric transfer and functional expression of the tomato disease resistance gene Pto.
Plant disease resistance loci have been used successfully in breeding programs to transfer traits from resistant germplasm to susceptible plant cultivars. The molecular cloning of plant disease resistance genes now permits the transfer of such traits across species boundaries by genetic transformation of recipient hosts. The tomato disease resistance gene Pto confers resistance to strains of th...
