Abstract: | We present a model pathosystem to dissect genetically the disease resistance response of plants against phytopathogenic bacteria. The interaction between Pseudomonas syringae pathovar maculicola (Psm) and Arabidopsis thaliana displays phenotypic varia-ion which depends on the genotype of both partners. Compatible interactions are defined by sustained in-planta bacterial growth and are normally accompanied of their appearance. For compatible interactions, resistance is defined by limited in-planta bacterial growth accompanied by a typical 'hypersensitive response' (HR). We show that at least parts of this system fit the paradigms of Flor's 'gene-for-gene' hypothesis. We identify functionally a putative bacterial avirulence gene (avrRpm 1) from a Psm isolate which conditions the HR on A. thaliana ecotypes Oy-0 abd Col- 0, but not Nd-0. We also demonstrate that resistance to the Psm strain from which avrRpm1 was isolated segregates as a single trait in the crosses Col-o x Nd-0 and Nd-0 x Oy-0. Furthermore, we map this locus (RPM1) molecularly in the Col-0 x Nd-0 cross to a relatively small interval defined by two RFLP markers on A. thliana chromosome 3. Resistance in the second cross also maps to this locus and co-segregates with resistance to avrRpm1. |
