Abstract excerpt
Pto is a member of a multigene family and encodes a serine/threonine kinase that mediates gene-for-gene resistance to strains of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato expressing avrPto. The inferred amino acid sequence of the Pto homologs from both resistant (LpimPth2 to LpimPth4) and susceptible (LescFen, LescPth2 to LescPth5) haplotypes suggested that most could encode functional serine/threonine kinases. In...
