Journal ArticleDOI
The Brassica napus blackleg resistance gene LepR3 encodes a receptor-like protein triggered by the Leptosphaeria maculans effector AVRLM1.

TL;DR: AvrLm1's interaction with two independent resistance loci, Rlm1 and LepR3, highlights the need to consider redundant phenotypes in 'gene-for-gene' interactions and offers an explanation as to why LepR 3 was overcome so rapidly in parts of Australia.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Brassica napus receptor‐like protein RLM2 is encoded by a second allele of the LepR3/Rlm2 blackleg resistance locus
TL;DR: Rlm2 was found to be an allelic variant of the LepR3 LRR-RLP locus, conveying race-specific resistance to L. maculans isolates harbouring AvrLm2, and the interaction of RLM2 with AtSOBIR1 is suggestive of a conserved defence signalling pathway between B. napus and its close relative A. thaliana.
Journal ArticleDOI
De novo sequence assembly of Albugo candida reveals a small genome relative to other biotrophic oomycetes

TL;DR: A draft reference genome of a major crop pathogen Albugo candida is reported with an estimated genome of 45.3 Mb, which is very similar to the genome size of a necrotrophic oomycete Pythium ultimum but less than half that of H. arabidopsidis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The arabidopsis TIR-NB-LRR gene RAC1 confers resistance to Albugo candida (white rust) and is dependent on EDS1 but not PAD4.
TL;DR: Strong identity of the TIR and NB domains was observed between the predicted proteins encoded by the Ksk-1 allele and the allele from an Acem1-susceptible accession Columbia (Col) (99 and 98%, respectively).
Journal ArticleDOI
WRR4, a broad‐spectrum TIR‐NB‐LRR gene from Arabidopsis thaliana that confers white rust resistance in transgenic oilseed brassica crops

TL;DR: RNA interference-mediated suppression of EDS1 is used in a white rust-resistant breeding line of B. napus to determine whether defence signalling via E DS1 is functionally intact in this oilseed brassica, and indicates that WRR4 could potentially provide a novel source of white rust resistance in oilseed and vegetable brassica crops.
