Identification, classification and optionally stacking of r-genes in solanum using an effector-receptor approach

摘要

The invention relates to the field of resistance genes, more in particular to resistance genes from potato plants. The invention particularly relates to a method for identifying a resistance gene (an R-gene) comprising using a set of defined Phytophthora effectors. The invention describes an approach that is based on the use of a particular Phytophthora effector (preferably an elicitor) and linking said effector with a resistance gene.
