Anatomy of a revolution

Article Abstract:

Arabidopsis has been included in the Security Council of Model Genetic Organisms because it allowed all the genetic manipulations, such as recombination, complementation and dominance. Its emergence as a premier genetic system was attributed to the rapid developments in the field of Arabidopsis genomics and transformation protocol. The principles behind the Security Council have outweighed the objections, which included its not being an edible plant and the preclusion of the development of a universally applicable diet.

Soybean resistance genes specific for different Pseudomonas syringae avirulence genes are allelic, or closely linked, at the RPG1 locus

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to examine RPG1 and RPM1, two disease resistance genes in soybean and Arabidopsis. These genes confer resistance to infections caused by Pseudomonas syringiae strains which express the avirulence gene avrB. The results showed that alleles, or closely linked genes, exist at the RPG1 locus in soybean that are specific for either avrB or avrPrm1. It is suggested that the alleles can distinguish between these two avirulence genes.
