Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of markers linked to disease-resistance genes by bulked segregant analysis: a rapid method to detect markers in specific genomic regions by using segregating populations.
TL;DR: Bulk segregant analysis has several advantages over the use of near-isogenic lines to identify markers in specific regions of the genome and will have widespread application both in those species where selfing is possible and in those that are obligatorily outbreeding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome-Wide Analysis of NBS-LRR–Encoding Genes in Arabidopsis
TL;DR: The observed diversity of these NBS-LRR proteins indicates the variety of recognition molecules available in an individual genotype to detect diverse biotic challenges.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of reliable PCR-based markers linked to downy mildew resistance genes in lettuce
Ilan Paran,Richard W Michelmore +1 more
TL;DR: Sequence characterized amplified regions (SCARs) were derived from eight random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers linked to disease resistance genes in lettuce, providing information on the molecular basis of RAPD markers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clusters of resistance genes in plants evolve by divergent selection and a birth-and-death process.
TL;DR: A new model adapted and expanded from one proposed for the evolution of vertebrate major histocompatibility complex and immunoglobulin gene families is proposed resulting in evolution of individual R genes within a haplotype that emphasizes divergent selection acting on arrays of solvent-exposed residues in the LRR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant NBS-LRR proteins: adaptable guards
TL;DR: The majority of disease resistance genes in plants encode nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR) proteins, and their precise role in recognition is unknown; however, they are thought to monitor the status of plant proteins that are targeted by pathogen effectors.
