What is Resistance…..? The ability of an organism to exclude or overcome, completely or in
some degree, the effect of a pathogen or other damaging factor
Vertical resistance
Horizontal Resistance
Two types

H. H. Flor (1900 –1991)(MS 1924, Ph.D 1929)
H. H. Flor conducted studies with flax (Linum usitatissimum) and the flax rust pathogen (Melampsora lini)
------ to understand the genetic basis of the interaction between resistance and
virulence.
Flor originated gene‐for‐gene theory based on observations from his experiments
------ making crosses between both plants and pathogens to determine the inheritance of resistance and avirulence

Molecular basis for gene-for gene-relationship
On the basis of molecular interactions involved in producing resistant/susceptible responses in the host, the gene-for-gene relationship may be classified into two general groups:
Incompatible reaction
Compatible reaction
![Page 19: Gene for-gene hypothesis & its validty in the present scenario](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/5876e9371a28ab046d8b6c2b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Incompatible reaction Found in biotrophic pathogens (obligate parasites) and is associated with hypersensitive response of the host
Only one of the four combinations would lead to the resistant response since the products of R & A would recognize & interact with each other.
The product of alleles a & r are unable to recognize each other, & there is no interaction between them hence reaction of host becomes susceptible.
Plant Resistance /susceptibility genes
Pathogen Avirulence /virulence genes
A a
R Resistance Susceptible
r Susceptible Susceptible
Allele A of the virulence gene specifies avirulence.
Allele a of the virulence gene governs virulence.
![Page 20: Gene for-gene hypothesis & its validty in the present scenario](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/5876e9371a28ab046d8b6c2b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Compatible reaction Found in heterotrophic pathogens (facultative parasites)
The allele for susceptibility of the host ( r) and those for virulence in the pathogen produce specific compound, which interact with each other to produce susceptible response.
one of the fours combinations would lead to susceptibility and rest lead to resistant.
Plant Resistance /susceptibility genes
Pathogen Avirulence /virulence genes
A a
R Resistance Resistance
r Resistance Susceptible
Allele A of the virulence gene specifies avirulence. Allele a of the virulence gene governs virulence.
![Page 21: Gene for-gene hypothesis & its validty in the present scenario](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/5876e9371a28ab046d8b6c2b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
2nd gene for gene hypothesisFlor’s gene –for- gene hypothesis is purely a
hypothesis of identities. The resistance gene in the host and the
corresponding virulence gene can be identified by this hypothesis.
But it does not tell us about the gene quality. A second gene –for -gene hypothesis, which is an extension of Flor’s hypothesis, tells us about the quality of genes.
![Page 22: Gene for-gene hypothesis & its validty in the present scenario](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/5876e9371a28ab046d8b6c2b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The quality of resistance gene in the host determines the fitness of matching gene in the pathogen to survive, when this gene for virulence is unnecessary.
Unnecessary gene means- a gene for virulence in the pathogen population against which matching resistance gene in the host is not present.
Reciprocally, the fitness of the virulence gene in the parasite to survive when it is unnecessary determines the quality of matching resistance gene in the host.
![Page 23: Gene for-gene hypothesis & its validty in the present scenario](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/5876e9371a28ab046d8b6c2b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
For instance, there are ten or more genes in the host for resistance to late blight of potato, R1, R2, R3------------R10.
Of these, the first four R1---R4 have been well studied. These genes have not been found of equal importance and strength.
R4 has not been successfully used on its own by breeders although it has occasionally been used in combination with other genes.
The R1 gene has often been used alone and it has given protection to the varieties against blight. The difference between these R genes is that virulences on R4 preexisted in population of Phytophthora infestans whereas virulences on R1 don’t (Van der Plank, 1975).
The ratio for virulence between R1 and R4 genes has been found to differ significantly. Thus there is difference in the quality of resistance genes R1 and R4.

N gene present in Tobacco confer resistance to the viral pathogen. The amino acid sequence of the encoded N protein contains domains (NBS-LRR) which suggest a role for N in signal transduction leading to HR

Work done in university• Saharan (1977) identified 11 races of Melampsora lini (I-8 to I-17
and I-43)• Dr. Basandrai (1994) evaluated flax genotypes for resistance to
rust (Melampsora lini), wilt (Fusarium oxysporum ) and powdery mildew (Oidium lini) with 139, 35 and 24 genotypes, respectively, being free of infection
Work going on in the department• Molecular characterization of rust resistance introgressed into
Linum usitatissimum L. from its wild and cultivated gene pool

ConclusionThe precision of management and
deployment of resistance genes has increased considerably after Flor’s hypothesis
Interactions between disease resistance (R) genes in plants and their corresponding pathogen avirulence (Avr) genes are the key determinants of whether a plant is susceptible or resistant to a pathogen attack
Evidence has emerged that gene-for-gene interactions in the perception of pathogenic invasions and development of acquired resistance in plants involve different molecular and biochemical transduction pathways, which are still poorly understood
![Page 47: Gene for-gene hypothesis & its validty in the present scenario](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062400/5876e9371a28ab046d8b6c2b/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
The interaction between plant and pathogen are specific, complex and dynamic
Increased understanding of the molecular basis of disease resistance will not only answer basic biological questions on the mode of action of resistance genes, but will facilitate efforts to engineer crops for resistance to disease

The hazardous effect of fungicides, bactericides and insecticides, or their degradation products, on the environment and human health strongly necessitates the search for new harmless means of disease control…….and i.e. Development of resistant varieties.
