The evolution of resistance genes in multi-protein plant resistance systems.
The genomic perspective aids in integrating the analysis of single resistance (R-) genes into a higher order model of complex plant resistance systems. The majority of R-genes encode a class of proteins with nucleotide binding (NB) and leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domains. Several R-proteins act in multi-protein R-complexes that mediate interaction with pathogen effectors to induce resistance sign...
متن کاملPlant Disease Resistance Genes.
In "gene-for-gene" interactions between plants and their pathogens, incompatibility (no disease) requires a dominant or semidominant resistance (R) gene in the plant, and a corresponding avirulence (Avr) gene in the pathogen. Many plant/pathogen interactions are of this type. R genes are presumed to (a) enable plants to detect Avr-gene-specified pathogen molecules, (b) initiate signal transduct...
متن کاملStructure, function and evolution of plant disease resistance genes.
Gene-for-gene plant disease resistance involves two basic processes: perception of pathogen attack, followed by responses to limit disease. Perception involves receptors with high degrees of specificity for pathogen strains, which are encoded by disease resistance genes. Large repertoires of distantly related resistance (R) genes with diverse recognitional specificities are found within a singl...
متن کاملCreating Mutations in Plant Pathogen Resistance Genes
One of the most effective means of studying a vital function like pathogen defense is to create mutations in the genes responsible for the function. By creating such mutant organisms, one can dissect the biochemical pathways leading to pathogen defense. To isolate a mutant plant lacking pathogen resistance genes, one must first disable the resistance genes. Radiation from a cesium 137 source wa...
متن کاملSentinels of disease. Plant resistance genes.
Successful defense against an enemy requires perception of his whereabouts. In the last few years, much progress has been made in delineating the plant molecular sentinels that participate in pathogen identification. This ability is encoded by genetically “hard-wired” information, and is called “innate immunity”. It draws its origins from a phylogenetically ancient form of immunity that is comm...
