Abstract

Recessive resistance to potyvirus infection occurs in a wide range of crop species. In pea, such genes are clustered and show diverse specificity. The nature of the resistance suggests these examples represent a new class of resistance genes. In this project, we will use map-based cloning to characterise one of these genes (sbm-1), which provides resistance to the pea pathogen Pea Seed- borne Mosaic Virus. The cloning strategy will be based upon a deletion mutagenesis of an F1 cross between resistant and susceptible lines and mapping methods that draw on syntenic relationships with other legumes
