BGS 736, Required for Puccinia graminis resistance 7, rpr7
Stock number: BGS 736
Locus name: Required for Puccinia graminis resistance 7
Locus symbol: rpr7
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
γ08-115; R3-18#3 (2, 3).
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (2, 3, 4).
Location is unknown.
Description:
The rpr7.g mutant induced a moderate susceptible reaction to Puccinia graminis Pers.:Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks. E. Henn (Pgt) race MCCF in the cultivar, Morex, having the Rpg1.a gene (see BGS 511) for resistance to P. graminis (wheat stem rust). The rpr7.g mutant has been partially characterized (2, 3) with an infection type (IT) of moderately susceptible (MS): IT range of 1.2 to 3 with a mode 2.3-3.2 (rated by 1); IT of 3 (rated by 2, 3), or IT range of 2.3 to 3.3- (rated by 6) based on a 0-4 scale, defined by Stakman et al. (5). The parent line Morex is rated as moderately resistant. For description of IT ratings, see the BGS description for rpr2 (BGS 731). The rpr7.g mutant is not tested for allelism to rpr1.a, rpr2.b, rpr3.c, rpr4.d, rpr5.e, or rpr6.f (2, 3, 4). The RPG1 protein is present and apparently functional as indicated by the observations that the RPG1 protein was phosphorylated within 15 min of inoculation with Pgt race MCCF urediniospores and degraded within 24 hrs of infection as expected for a functional RPG1 protein (2, 3, 4).
