High impact information on RPP13

  • Furthermore, an amino acid sequence (LLRVLDL) identical in an LRR among RPP13 alleles is conserved in other LZ NBS-LRR type R proteins, suggesting functional significance [1].
  • The RPP13 locus in Arabidopsis represents an important paradigm for studying the evolution of an R gene at a simple locus [1].
  • The RPP13 allele from the accession Nd-1, designated RPP13-Nd, confers resistance to five different isolates of the biotrophic oomycete, Peronospora parasitica (causal agent of downy mildew), and encodes an NBS-LRR type R protein with a putative amino-terminal leucine zipper [1].
  • The maintenance of extreme amino acid diversity at the disease resistance gene, RPP13, in Arabidopsis thaliana [2].
  • Four isolates were characterized that elicited an FN phenotype in Nd-1 and mapped resistance to the RPP13 locus [3].
 

Biological context of RPP13

  • RPP13 was designated as the locus for a single dominant resistance gene associated with the resistance in Nd-1 and mapped to an interval of approximately 60 kb on a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) contig on the lower arm of chromosome 3 [3].
