Description:
The Hs1(pro-1) locus confers resistance to the beet cyst nematode (Heterodera schachtii Schmidt), a major pest in the cultivation of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.). The Hs1(pro-1) gene was cloned with the use of genome-specific satellite markers and chromosomal break-point analysis. Expression of the corresponding complementary DNA in a susceptible sugar beet conferred resistance to infection with the beet cyst nematode. The native Hs1(pro-1) gene, expressed in roots, encodes a 282-amino acid protein with imperfect leucine-rich repeats and a putative membrane-spanning segment, features similar to those of disease resistance genes previously cloned from higher plants.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Cai, D -- Kleine, M -- Kifle, S -- Harloff, H J -- Sandal, N N -- Marcker, K A -- Klein-Lankhorst, R M -- Salentijn, E M -- Lange, W -- Stiekema, W J -- Wyss, U -- Grundler, F M -- Jung, C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1997 Feb 7;275(5301):832-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute of Crop Science and Plant Breeding, Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel, Olshausenstrasse 40, D-24118 Kiel, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9012350" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
