Abstract
"We have developed the interaction between the oomycete pathogen Hyaloperonsopora parasitica (downy mildew) and Arabidopsis as a model system in order to study the mechanisms of parasite pathogenicity and host resistance. We have cloned the Arabidopsis resistance genes RPP1 and RPP13 and shown them to be cytoplasmically located NB:LRR proteins. We have cloned the matching pathogen genes, ATR1 and ATR13, that trigger host resistance via recognition by their respective resistance genes. We have also cloned a range of pathogen genes, that are expressed in planta, that could play a role in pathogenicity. We are currently investigating the role of these in planta expressed genes in the host plant and the mechanism of RPP13 mediated resistance."
