Abstract excerpt
The M rust resistance gene from flax was cloned after two separate approaches, an analysis of spontaneous M mutants with an L6 gene-derived DNA probe and tagging with the maize transposon Activator, independently identified the same gene. The gene encodes a protein of the nucleotide binding site leucine-rich repeat class and is related (86% nucleotide identity) to the unlinked L6 rust resistance gene. In contrast...
