Abstract
In summary, this study identifies loci that interact with RPS2 and RPM1 and domains within RPS2 that modify expression and strength of the resistance response. Further characterization and cloning of the RPS2- and RPM1-interacting loci, conjoined with functional analysis of RPS2 protein domains such as the LRRs and the NBS, should provide valuable insights into the structure, molecular interactions and function of resistance genes involved in gene-for-gene resistance.
