Abstract excerpt
Three rust resistance specificities, N, N1 and N2, map to the complex N locus of flax. We used a degenerate PCR approach, with primers directed to the nucleotide binding site (NBS) domain characteristic of many plant resistance genes, to isolate resistance gene analogs (RGAs) from flax. One RGA clone detected RFLPs co-segregating with alleles of the N locus. With this probe we isolated four related genes that...
