Haplotype variability and identification of new functional alleles at the Rdg2a leaf stripe resistance gene locus
The barley Rdg2a locus confers resistance to the leaf stripe pathogen Pyrenophora graminea and, in the barley genotype Thibaut, it is composed of a gene family with three highly similar paralogs. Only one member ...

The CC-NB-LRR-type Rdg2a Resistance Gene Evolved Through Recombination and Confers Immunity to the Seed-Borne Barley Leaf Stripe Pathogen in the Absence of Hypersensitive Cell Death
Leaf stripe disease on barley is caused by the seed-transmitted hemi-biotrophic fungus Pyrenophora graminea. Race-specific resistance to leaf stripe is controlled by two known Rdg (resistance to Drechslera gramin...
