Abstract
Recently recognised structural and amino acid sequence similarities between plant disease resistance (R) proteins and animal proteins such as Apaf-1 and CED-4 are providing conceptual models for resistance protein function. Data from extensive DNA sequencing of resistance gene families are indicating that the leucine-rich repeat motif is an important determinant of gene-for-gene specificity and that intergenic DNA sequence exchange is a major contributor to R gene diversity.Entities:
