RFLP mapping on potato chromosomes of two genes controlling extreme resistance to potato virus X (PVX).

TLDR
Two different chromosomal locations of major genes controlling extreme resistance to potato virus X (PVX) were found by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of two populations segregating for the resistance.
Abstract
Two different chromosomal locations of major genes controlling extreme resistance to potato virus X (PVX) were found by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of two populations segregating for the resistance. The resistance geneRx1 mapped to the distal end of chromosome XII, whereasRx2 was located at an intermediate position on linkage group V in a region where reduced recombination and segregation distortion have also been observed. These linkage anomalies were due to abnormal behaviour of the chromosome contributed by the resistant parent P34. The results presented were obtained using two different strategies for mapping genes of unknown location. One approach was the use of probes revealing polymorphic loci spread throughout the genome and resulted in the mapping ofRx1. The second approach was based on the assumption of possible linkage between the resistance gene and clone-specific DNA fragments introduced from a wild potato species.Rx2 was mapped by adopting this strategy.

Qtl mapping and quantitative disease resistance in plants

TL;DR: These studies provide insights into the number of quantitative resistance loci involved in complex disease resistance, epistatic and environmental interactions, race-specificity of partial resistance locu, interactions between pathogen biology, plant development and biochemistry, and the relationship between qualitative and quantitative loci.

Organization of genes controlling disease resistance in the potato genome

TL;DR: It is proposed that some QTL for resistance have a molecular basis similar to single R genes, and genes having structural similarity with cloned R genes and genes involved in the defense response are proposed.

Genetics of Plant Virus Resistance

TL;DR: This chapter has catalogued genes for resistance to plant viruses and has summarized current knowledge regarding their identity and inheritance, and the genetic context, genomic organization, mechanisms of resistance and agricultural deployment of plant virus resistance genes are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The R1 gene for potato resistance to late blight (Phytophthora infestans) belongs to the leucine zipper/NBS/LRR class of plant resistance genes.

TL;DR: It is shown that R1, the first gene for resistance to late blight, is cloned by combining positional cloning with a candidate gene approach, and is located within a hot spot for pathogen resistance on potato chromosome V.

The estimation of map distances from recombination values.

TL;DR: The genetic map is a tool to quantify the distance between genes on a chromosome, based on the observed frequency of crossovers during cell division, which is used to estimate the total distance between chromosomes.

RFLP Maps Based on a Common Set of Clones Reveal Modes of Chromosomal Evolution in Potato and Tomato.

TL;DR: Linkage maps based on a common set of restriction fragment length polymorphism markers provide a basis for uniting the previously separate disciplines of tomato and potato genetics and may now be possible to test theories about homologies or orthologies of other genes, including those coding for disease resistance and stress tolerances.

Genetical studies on resistance to Potato viruses X and Y.

G Cockerham
- 01 Aug 1970 - 
TL;DR: The present investigations concern resistance (immunity) to potato virus X and/or potato virus Y and necrotic hypersensitivity, a basis of resistance to these viruses, and there is a consensus of evidence that each form of response is under single gene control.
