Genetic mapping of plants traditionally involves the analysis of large segregating populations. However, not all individuals in a population contribute equal amounts of genetic information. It is thus possible to achieve rough mapping using a subset of the most informative individuals in the population. We have designed a minimal Brassica napus mapping population of 23 doubled-haploid plants and have tested this method using this population in the mapping of disease resistance gene homologues in B. napus. Several groups have identified such homologues in soybean and potato by amplifying sequences corresponding to conserved nucleotide-binding sites from known resistance genes. However, the sequence conservation in the leucine-rich repeat domain that is present in most of the disease resistance genes isolated has not been exploited via the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). We present the genetic mapping of Brassica napus DNA sequences amplified with primers corresponding to both the nucleotide-binding site and the leucine rich-repeat domain of the Arabidopsis thaliana RPS2 gene. We also describe a method for the quick mapping of resistance gene homologues using the polymerase chain reaction.Key words: Brassica napus, disease resistance genes, minimal mapping population, RFLP markers.

The Cre3 gene confers a high level of resistance to the root endoparasitic nematode Heterodera avenae in wheat. A DNA marker cosegregating with H. avenae resistance was used as an entry point for map-based cloning of a disease resistance gene family at the Cre3 locus. Two related gene sequences have been analysed at the Cre3 locus. One, identified as a cDNA clone, encodes a polypeptide with a nucleotide binding site (NBS) and a leucine-rich region; this member of the disease resistance gene family is expressed in roots. A second Cre3 gene sequence, cloned as genomic DNA, appears to be a pseudogene, with a frame shift caused by a deletion event. These two genes, related to members of the cytoplasmic NBS – leucine rich repeat class of plant disease resistance genes were physically mapped to the distal 0.06 fragment of the long arm of wheat chromosome 2D and cosegregated with nematode resistance.Key words: cereal cyst nematode, disease resistance genes, nucleotide-binding site, leucine-rich repeat.

Table grapes are a valuable dietary product. Seedless grapes are in high demand among consumers. For this reason, the breeding of seedless varieties is one of the popular trends in modern viticulture, along with the production of environmentally friendly products. Downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola (Berk. & M.A. Curtis) Berl. & De Toni) is one of the most common fungal diseases of the grapevine. Most downy mildew resistant grape accessions belong to North American species like Vitis aestivalis Michx., V. berlandieri Planch., V. cinerea (Engelm. ex A. Gray) Engelm. ex Millard, V. riparia Michx., V. rupestris  Scheele, etc. The search for donors of resistance genes is an urgent task. Rpv3 is one of the most significant resistance genes from a number of North American grape varieties. The aim of this work is to identify the downy mildew resistance gene Rpv3 in seedless grape varieties by means of DNA-marker analysis. The grape varieties with rudimentary development of seed in berries and with North American species in the pedigree were chosen as the object of the study. The varieties “Dunavski lazur” and “Seyve Villard 12-375” with reference alleles were used as the positive control, while V. vinifera L. was used as the negative control. UDV305 and UDV737 DNA-markers were used in this study to identify the allelic type of the Rpv3 gene. The work was performed using the polymerase chain reaction. The reaction products were separated by capillary electrophoresis using the ABI Prism 3130 automatic genetic analyzer. Evaluation of the results was done using the GeneMapper and PeakScanner software. Functional alleles of the downy mildew resistance gene Rpv3 were revealed in grape  varieties “Kishmish zaporozhskiy”, “Lady Patricia”, “Remaily seedless”, “Pamyati Smirnova” and “Shayan”. Rpv3299-279, one of the seven known haplotypes, was identified in all the varieties. The pedigree analysis of the studied varieties indicated that the parental forms – “Seyve Villard” and “Seibel” hybrids – are presumably the donors of the gene. Grape accessions with the identified Rpv3 gene can be used in seedless varieties breeding as donors of resistance to downy mildew.

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.

In this study, resistance gene analogs (RGAs) which were isolated from monocot crop species (wheat, barley, maize and rice) and contained conserved sequence motifs found within the nucleotide binding site - leucine rich repeat (NBS-LRR) class of resistance genes, were used to assess their distribution in the wheat genome. The RGAs showed 30-70% amino acid identity to a previously isolated monocot NBS-LRR sequence from the Cre3 locus for cereal cyst nematode (CCN) resistance in wheat. We used the RGAs as probes to identify and map loci in wheat using recombinant inbred lines of an international Triticeae mapping family. RGA loci mapped across all seven homoeologous chromosome groups of wheat. This study demonstrated that the RGA mapping approach provides potential entry points toward identifying resistance gene candidates in wheat.Key words: wheat, disease resistance genes, nucleotide binding site, leucine rich repeat, resistance gene analogs.
