Plants have developed a complicated defense mechanism during evolution to resist the harmful pathogens they encountered.The mechanism involves the interaction of the plant resistance(R)

By polymerase chain reaction(PCR), disease resistance gene analogues have been amplified from three wild rice species in Yunnan Province, China. The DIN A fragments from amplification have been cloned into the pGEM-T vector respectively. Sequencing of the DNA fragments indicated that 7 classes, 2 classes and 6 classes NBS-LRR disease resistance gene analogues from Oryza rufipogon Griff. , Oryza officinalis Wall. , and Oryza meyeriana Baill. were obtained respectively. The two representative fragments of TO12 from Oryza officinalis Wall, and TR19 from Oryza rufipogon Griff, belong to the same class and homology of their sequences are 100%. The result shows that the sequences of the same class disease resistance gene analogues have no difference among different species of wild rice. 5 classes STK disease resistance gene analogues were also obtained among which 4 classes from Oryza rufipogon Griff. , 1 class from Oryza officinalis Wall. By comparison analysis of amino acid sequences. we found that the obtained disease resistance gene analogues have very low identity(low to 25%) with the reported disease resistance gene L6, N, Bs2, Prf, Pto, Lr10 and Xa21 etc. The finding suggests that the obtained disease resistance gene analogues are analogues of putative disease resistance genes that have not been isolated so far.展开更多

Clustering results revealed a significant correlation between the blast resistance and DNA bands with a correlation coefficient of 0.6117 （α=0.01）, indicating that the resistance analysis based on RGA-PCR clustering analysis coincided with that based on inoculation. The correlation coefficients, ranging from 0.1701 to 0.535, however, depended on the primers. Five pairs of primers, S1/AS3, S1 INV/S2 INV, XLRR For/XLRR Rev, Pto-Kinl IN/Pto-Kin2 IN, and NLRR For/NLRR Rev might be applied for blast resistance identification in consideration of their band numbers and polymorphisms, and their correlation coefficients with blast resistance were 0.5305, 0.4898, 0.4059, 0.3719 and 0.3524, respectively. Besides, indica and japonica rice except two highly susceptible varieties, CO39 and Lijiangxintuanheigu could be well classified by the 11 pairs of primers.展开更多

Cluster analysis showed that the varieties could be classified into five groups either at the similarity threshold of 0.72 for RGA profiles or at 0.80 for leaf blast severities. Although there did not exist a complete parallel relationship between RGA-based groups and blast resistance-based groups, five out of six varieties with broad spectrum or durable resistance repeatedly fell into same group. This result suggested that application of three primer pairs, viz. RGA1 and RGA2 （both designed from the LRR region of rice Xa21 gene） and RGA3 （designed from the LRR region of tobacco N gene） contributed to better evaluation of the germplasms for their resistance responses to rice blast.展开更多

The RGA analysis of 137 cultivars was conducted by PCR amplification using three primers, i.e. S1/AS3, XLRR for/XLRR rev, and Pto-kinl/Pto-kin2, respectively. The results showed that both Indica and Japonica cultivars were genetically highly diverse. All cultivars were divided into 3 lineages according to the DNA band data at 96% dissimilarity, and into 20 lineages at 60% dissimilarity. The lineages were related to their genetic background and blast disease resistance with only a few exceptions. The RGA data can be useful in rice production by mixed-planting of different cultivars in the field and breeding of resistance cultivars by selecting different parental cultivars with great genetic diversity.展开更多

The 6VS were microdissected with needle and 10 types of resistance gene analogs were obtained by PCR with degenerate oligonucleotide primer designed according to resistance genes. They were designated as Hvrgak1-Hvrgak10, GenBank accession numbers are AF387113-AF387121, AY040671- AY040672. Identity among RGAs was about 10-50%, and identity with cloned R gene from plants was 5-20%. Southern hybridization analysis results showed 3 RGAs, Hvrgak2, Hvrgak4, and Hvr-gak5 were linked with wheat powdery mildew resistance. These RGAs may be used as direct entrance or probes for cloning the disease resistance genes.展开更多
