Abstract
Clusters of numerous genes (RPP) associated with recognition of the economically important pathogen, Peronospora parasitica (Pp) (downy mildew), has been located in the Arabidopsis (At) genome. Multiple regions (3) of collinearity with the Brassica oleracea (Bo) genome will be sought for these gene clusters concentrating particularly on those identified at the bottom of chromosomes 3 and 5. Comparisons will be made of the occurrence, numbers, organisation and possibly sequence homology of RPP homologues in collinear regions. The genomic location of RPP genes identified in Bo on the basis of phenotype will be determined and, using a diverse collection of Pp isolates, attempts will also be made to attribute function in Brassica homologues of At RPP genes.
