Abstract

The aim of this project is to identify molecular markers tightly linked to avirulence (AVR) genes, of Peronospora parasitica, the products of which interact with specific resistance genes (RPP) in Arabidopsis. A cross has been made been Peronospora isolates that contain AVR genes that interact with at least four RPP genes. A recombinant inbred (RI) mapping population will be developed from the cross. This will be used to determine the number of AVR loci interacting with specific resistance genes. The RI will be used to identify AFLPs that are closely linked with four AVR genes. The AFLPs will then be used to identify markers that cosegregate with an AVR gene and to identify genomic clones spanning one of the AVR loci.
