Plant resistance (R) genes have evolved specific recognition capabilities in defense against pathogens. The evolution of R gene function and maintenance of R gene diversity within a plant species are therefore of great interest. In the Arabidopsis accession Wassilewskija, the RPP1 region on chromosome 3 contains four genetically linked recognition specificities, conditioning resistance to different isolates of the biotrophic oomycete Peronospora parasitica (downy mildew). We show that three of four tightly linked genes in this region, designated RPP1-WsA, RPP1-WsB, and RPP1-WsC, encode functional products of the NBS-LRR (nucleotide binding siteleucine-rich repeat) R protein class. They possess a TIR (Toll, interleukin-1, resistance) domain that is characteristic of certain other NBS-LRRtype R proteins, but in addition, they have unique hydrophilic or hydrophobic N termini. Together, the three RPP1 genes account for the spectrum of resistance previously assigned to the RPP1 region and thus comprise a complex R locus. The distinct but partially overlapping resistance capabilities conferred by these genes are best explained by the hypothesis that each recognizes a different pathogen avirulence determinant. We present evidence suggesting that the RPP genes at this locus are subject to the same selective forces that have been demonstrated for structurally different LRR-type R genes.
