Abstract excerpt
Resistance Gene Candidate2 (RGC2) genes belong to a large, highly duplicated family of nucleotide binding site-leucine rich repeat (NBS-LRR) encoding disease resistance genes located at a single locus in lettuce (Lactuca sativa). To investigate the genetic events occurring during the evolution of this locus, approximately 1.5- to 2-kb 3' fragments of 126 RGC2 genes from seven genotypes were sequenced from three...
