The interaction between tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and tobacco harbouring the N gene is a classical system for studying gene–for–gene interactions in disease resistance. The N gene confers resistance to TMV by mediating defence responses that function to limit viral replication and movement. We isolated the N gene and determined that N belongs to the nucleotide–binding–site–leucine–rich–repeat (NBS–LRR) class of plant disease resistance genes, and encodes both full–length and truncated proteins. Sequence homologies and mutagenesis studies indicated a signalling role for the N protein similar to that seen for proteins involved in defence responses in insects and mammals. The N gene confers resistance to TMV in transgenic tomato, demonstrating the use of the NBS–LRR class of disease resistance genes in engineering crop resistance. From the pathogen side of this interaction, the TMV 126 kDa replicase protein has been implicated as the avirulence factor that triggers N –mediated defence responses. We employed Agrobacterium –mediated expression strategies to demonstrate that expression of the putative helicase region of the replicase protein is sufficient to elicit N –mediated defences. The thermosensitivity of the N –mediated response to TMV is retained when induced by expression of this replicase fragment. Thus, both components of this gene–for–gene interaction are now available for studies that address the molecular mechanisms involved in N –mediated TMV resistance.

Common bacterial blight (CBB), bacterial brown spot (BBS), and halo blight (HB), incited by the bacterial pathogens Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli (Smith) Dye, Pseodomonas syringae pv. syringa, and Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola, respectively are important diseases of common bean. In addition three fungal pathogens, web blight (WB) Thanatephorus cucumeris, rust Uromyces appendiculatus, and white mold (WM) Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, are also destructive diseases attacking common bean. Bean common mosaic virus is also one of most major virus disease. Resistance genes (QTLs and major genes) to three bacterial (CBB, BBS, and HB), three fungal (WB, rust, and WM), and one viral pathogen (BCMV) were previously mapped in two common bean populations (BAC 6 × HT 7719 and Belneb RR-1 × A55). The objective of this research was to use an integrated RAPD map of the two populations to compare the positions and effect of resistance QTL in common bean. Results indicate that two chromosomal regions associated with QTL for CBB resistance mapped in both populations. The same chromosomal regions associated with QTL for disease resistance to different pathogens or same pathogens were detected in the integrated population.

Abstract The RPS5 disease resistance gene of Arabidopsis mediates recognition of Pseudomonas syringae strains that possess the avirulence gene avrPphB. By screening for loss of RPS5-specified resistance, we identified five pbs (avrPphB susceptible) mutants that represent three different genes. Mutations in PBS1 completely blocked RPS5-mediated resistance, but had little to no effect on resistance specified by other disease resistance genes, suggesting that PBS1 facilitates recognition of the avrPphB protein. The pbs2 mutation dramatically reduced resistance mediated by the RPS5 and RPM1 resistance genes, but had no detectable effect on resistance mediated by RPS4 and had an intermediate effect on RPS2-mediated resistance. The pbs2 mutation also had varying effects on resistance mediated by seven different RPP (recognition of Peronospora parasitica) genes. These data indicate that the PBS2 protein functions in a pathway that is important only to a subset of disease-resistance genes. The pbs3 mutation partially suppressed all four P. syringae-resistance genes (RPS5, RPM1, RPS2, and RPS4), and it had weak-to-intermediate effects on the RPP genes. In addition, the pbs3 mutant allowed higher bacterial growth in response to a virulent strain of P. syringae, indicating that the PBS3 gene product functions in a pathway involved in restricting the spread of both virulent and avirulent pathogens. The pbs mutations are recessive and have been mapped to chromosomes I (pbs2) and V (pbs1 and pbs3).

Abstract PCR amplification was previously used to identify a cluster of resistance gene analogues (RGAs) on soybean linkage group J. Resistance to powdery mildew (Rmd-c), Phytophthora stem and root rot (Rps2), and an ineffective nodulation gene (Rj2) map within this cluster. BAC fingerprinting and RGA-specific primers were used to develop a contig of BAC clones spanning this region in cultivar “Williams 82” [rps2, Rmd (adult onset), rj2]. Two cDNAs with homology to the TIR/NBD/LRR family of R-genes have also been mapped to opposite ends of a BAC in the contig Gm_Isb001_091F11 (BAC 91F11). Sequence analyses of BAC 91F11 identified 16 different resistance-like gene (RLG) sequences with homology to the TIR/NBD/LRR family of disease resistance genes. Four of these RLGs represent two potentially novel classes of disease resistance genes: TIR/NBD domains fused inframe to a putative defense-related protein (NtPRp27-like) and TIR domains fused inframe to soybean calmodulin Ca2+-binding domains. RT-PCR analyses using gene-specific primers allowed us to monitor the expression of individual genes in different tissues and developmental stages. Three genes appeared to be constitutively expressed, while three were differentially expressed. Analyses of the R-genes within this BAC suggest that R-gene evolution in soybean is a complex and dynamic process.
