What are R-Genes? 1. These are Resistance Genes 2. Plant R -genes follow gene-for-gene interactions with pathogens 3. These co-evolve with the pathogen virulence gene. 4. Leucine-rich repeats (LRR) which is a region of R -genes is involved in recognizing pathogens and they evolve very fast.Gene-for-gene relationship: Gene-for-gene relationship The gene-for-gene relationship was discovered by Harold Henry Flor who was working with rust ( Melampsora lini ) of flax ( Linum usitatissimum ). Flor was the first scientist to study the genetics of both the host and parasite and to integrate them into one genetic system Gene-for-gene relationships are a widespread and very important aspect of plant disease resistance . A total of 149 R genes are potentially expressed in the Arabidopsis genome,Gene-for-gene relationship: Gene-for-gene relationship Flor showed that the inheritance of both resistance in the host and parasite ability to cause disease is controlled by pairs of matching genes. One is a plant gene called the resistance ( R ) gene. The other is a parasite gene called the avirulence ( Avr ) gene. Plants producing a specific R gene product are resistant towards a pathogen that produces the corresponding Avr gene product. R VIR 1 VIR 2 VIR 3 R 1 R 2 R 3 Pathogen HostClasses of Resistance Gene: Classes of Resistance Gene There are several different classes of R Genes. The major classes are the NBS-LRR genes and the cell surface pattern recognition receptors (PRR). The protein products of the NBS-LRR R genes contain a nucleotide binding site (NBS) and a leucine rich repeat (LRR).Classes of Resistance Gene: Classes of Resistance Gene The protein products encoded by this class of resistance gene are located within the plant cell cytoplasm.Importance of disease resistance: Importance of disease resistance DAMAGE BY DISEASES: In order of there importance (based on the damage caused by them) the patogen may be listed as Fungi > bacteria > viruses > nematodes = insect LOSSES BY DISEASE: The losses due to diseases may range from a few to 20 or 30 per cent,in case of severe infection , the total crop may be lost. The estimated global loss due to insect pests in the potential yields of all the crops is ~14%. In India losses due to insect pests ranges from 10 to 20 %.Slide 8: DISEASE DEVELOPMENTNBS-LRR Family: Disease resistance (R) genes have been isolated in numerous plant species and the R genes with domains of nucleotide binding sites (NBS) and leucine rich repeats (LRR) represent the largest R gene family.

Recognition of these effector molecules and subsequent defense induction involve several plant proteins and is often accompanied by rapid cell death , the hypersensitive response (HR). In order to understand the co-evolution of bacterial effectors and plant disease resistance R-genes, this group is conducting parallel studies of phenotypic and genetic diversity in the reaction between bacterial pathogens and multiple crop species.Slide 12: Plant proteins belonging to the nucleotide-binding site– leucine -rich repeat (NBS-LRR) family are used for pathogen detection.

Resistance Gene Analogs (RGA) in plants are related to the NBS-LRR class of disease resistance genes which are characterized by Nucleotide Binding Site (NBS) and Leucine Rich Repeat (LRR) regions. The NBS, in particular, contains several sequence motifs which are highly conserved among disease resistance genes and RGA from distantly related plants, thus facilitating their use for the isolation of new RGA and perhaps actual disease resistance genes.Resistance gene analogues/resistance based marker: Resistance gene analogues/resistance based marker These are fairly recent class of markers that are very important for disease resistance. these are some sequences in a disease resistance gene that are conserved over the species.

Based on SSR markers with known chromosomal locations, 217 RGA and RGA-AFLP markers were assigned to 18 chromosomes using programs Mapmaker and JoinMap. COTTONSlide 34: Interestingly, these RGA and RGA-AFLP markers were not evenly distributed among chromosomes in that 189 markers (87%) of them were placed on three “giant” linkage groups (C6, C12, and C15). C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 C9 C10 C11 C12 C13 C14 C15 C16 C17 C18 The results confirm that RGA in cotton tend to cluster together. This demonstrated that RGA-AFLP is a powerful DNA marker system for identifying resistance gene analogous with more sequence specificity. Mapping of RGAs in cotton COTTONFuture plan in Cotton on RGA Research: Future plan in Cotton on RGA Research Using more RGA and AFLP primer combinations, most, if not all, RGA can be amplified and identified genome-wide in cotton . The identification and mapping of RGA and RGA-AFLP markers would provide a framework to facilitate marker-assisted selection (MAS) for disease resistance in cotton breeding and to understand the genome organization of R genes in cotton.

Division of Plant Industry, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, Canberra, Australia. MaizeMaize : Maize These maize resistance gene analogs (RGAs) were used as probes to map 20 restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) loci in maize. Some RFLPs were shown to map to genomic regions containing virus and fungus resistance genes. Perfect co-segregation was observed between RGA loci and the rust resistance loci rp1 and rp3. The RGA probe associated with rp1 also detected deletion events in several rp1 mutants. These data strongly suggest that some of the RGA clones may hybridize to resistance genesSlide 46: RGAs in Comparative GenomicsSlide 47: Flooding of Data AGCTTTATTACTTAG AGCTTTATTACTTAG AGCTTTATTACTTAG AGCTTTATTACTTAG Squencing Linkage maps AGCTTT CTTAGAA CTTATTATA AGCTTT Research Area The rapid accumulation of genome sequence data sparked an array of functional genomics tools that are being employed to understand the complex pathways involved in host plant-pathogen interaction.RGA & Comparative Genomics : RGA & Comparative Genomics Structural analysis of plant R proteins revealed that most R genes encode homologous proteins with similar domains. The existence of such conserved domain led to comparative genomics approach to discover candidate disease resistance genes in many plant species.RGA & Comparative Genomics : RGA & Comparative Genomics The technique involves three major steps: 1) amplification of the RGA region 2) cloning and sequencing 3) sequence analysis and similarity search . BLAST SearchRGA & Comparative Genomics : Such homology-based identification of RGAs has been successfully utilized as short-cut method of resistance gene tagging and genome-wide survey for a complete set of genes containing NBS motif and other features. RGA technique has been used in cassava resulting in several novel sequences some of which were found to be similar to previously reported resistance gene analogs . Based on known domains of resistance genes, more than 900 wheat RGAs were mined from public databases.

These are present in all crop species and their domains are homologous in structure and sequences. These homologous domains are used to fish out disease resistant genes from different crop plants. RGAs have been successfully used in cotton, maize, pearl millet, vegetable crops, Brassica , forages etc. These have been used to fish out disease resistant genes, for comparative genomics, diversity analysis and to cluster the genotypes based on the kind of R-genes they have. Gene tagging for R-genes help in MAS and also development of multiline / multiple resistant genotypes and varieties.Slide 55: all You do not have the permission to view this presentation.

Based on SSR markers with known chromosomal locations, 217 RGA and RGA-AFLP markers were assigned to 18 chromosomes using programs Mapmaker and JoinMap. COTTONSlide 34: Interestingly, these RGA and RGA-AFLP markers were not evenly distributed among chromosomes in that 189 markers (87%) of them were placed on three “giant” linkage groups (C6, C12, and C15).

Division of Plant Industry, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, Canberra, Australia. MaizeMaize : Maize These maize resistance gene analogs (RGAs) were used as probes to map 20 restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) loci in maize. Some RFLPs were shown to map to genomic regions containing virus and fungus resistance genes. Perfect co-segregation was observed between RGA loci and the rust resistance loci rp1 and rp3. The RGA probe associated with rp1 also detected deletion events in several rp1 mutants. These data strongly suggest that some of the RGA clones may hybridize to resistance genesSlide 46: RGAs in Comparative GenomicsSlide 47: Flooding of Data AGCTTTATTACTTAG AGCTTTATTACTTAG AGCTTTATTACTTAG AGCTTTATTACTTAG Squencing Linkage maps AGCTTT CTTAGAA CTTATTATA AGCTTT Research Area The rapid accumulation of genome sequence data sparked an array of functional genomics tools that are being employed to understand the complex pathways involved in host plant-pathogen interaction.RGA & Comparative Genomics : RGA & Comparative Genomics Structural analysis of plant R proteins revealed that most R genes encode homologous proteins with similar domains. The existence of such conserved domain led to comparative genomics approach to discover candidate disease resistance genes in many plant species.RGA & Comparative Genomics : RGA & Comparative Genomics The technique involves three major steps: 1) amplification of the RGA region 2) cloning and sequencing 3) sequence analysis and similarity search . BLAST SearchRGA & Comparative Genomics : Such homology-based identification of RGAs has been successfully utilized as short-cut method of resistance gene tagging and genome-wide survey for a complete set of genes containing NBS motif and other features. RGA technique has been used in cassava resulting in several novel sequences some of which were found to be similar to previously reported resistance gene analogs . Based on known domains of resistance genes, more than 900 wheat RGAs were mined from public databases.

These are present in all crop species and their domains are homologous in structure and sequences. These homologous domains are used to fish out disease resistant genes from different crop plants. RGAs have been successfully used in cotton, maize, pearl millet, vegetable crops, Brassica , forages etc. These have been used to fish out disease resistant genes, for comparative genomics, diversity analysis and to cluster the genotypes based on the kind of R-genes they have. Gene tagging for R-genes help in MAS and also development of multiline / multiple resistant genotypes and varieties.Slide 55: all
