The L6 gene for flax rust resistance is related to the Arabidopsis bacterial resistance gene RPS2 and the tobacco viral resistance gene N.

TL;DR: The L6 rust resistance gene from flax was cloned after tagging with the maize transposable element Activator and the truncated product of L6, which lacks most of the leucine-rich C-terminal region, is similar to the truncation product that is predicted from an alternative transcript of the N gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inactivation of the flax rust resistance gene M associated with loss of a repeated unit within the leucine-rich repeat coding region.

TL;DR: The M rust resistance gene from flax was cloned after two separate approaches, an analysis of spontaneous M mutants with an L6 gene-derived DNA probe and tagging with the maize transposon Activator, independently identified the same gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contrasting complexity of two rust resistance loci in flax

TL;DR: DNA probes from the L6 rust resistance gene of flax hybridize to resistance genes at the unlinked M locus, indicating sequence similarities between genes atThe two loci, indicating the evolution of these two related loci has been different.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of alternative transcripts of the flax L6 rust resistance gene.

TL;DR: Flax plants transgenic for an intronless L6 gene, incapable of encoding truncated resistance proteins by alternative splicing, expressed L6 resistance indistinguishable from that of the wild-type gene and a definitive role for alternative transcripts and their predicted truncated products could not be assigned in the flax/flax rust system.
