Ever since Grube et al. Chromosome 11S I2 R3,7 RB Grube et al. assembled data suggesting that the rapid rearrangment model is not supported and that chromoosomal locations of R genes are conserved RB
I2- homologous sequences in Solanaceae Tomato Potato S. dem. Eggplant Pepper Tobacco Couch et al. MPMI 2006
I2- h NBS sequences under positive selection
NBS LRR NBS and LRR regions reassociate through time
Contributions and resources Birth-death model applies to R gene evolution 232 sequences from 6 species positive selection evolving function? seek new resistance function in fewer than 10 lineages Brett Couch David Schladt
I2 lineages maintained 12 million years Ancient duplications
Contributions and resources Long term maintenance of R gene lineages - 12 my 232 sequences from 6 species maintained through speciation maintain function? seek non-host R in fewer than 10 lineages Brett Couch
I2-h map to chromosomes 8,9,11 in tomato B B B B B IL Block B BAC contig
250 tomato BAC clones hybridized to I2 probes Oligo probes hybridize to specifc I2 homologs
Map I2-containing BAC clones to IL segment PCR length polymorphisms in parent lines BAC end polymorphisms segregate in the L. pinnellii mapping population
Contributions and resources Verified Pan, Fluhr results chromosomes 8,9,11 not on 3,4 (Pan) New region - 9 I Ancient chromosomal duplications carry R gene duplications Brett Couch Deren Eaton
Conceptualimportance: Birth-Death = recombining and long term maintenance = non-recombining? Informatic - characteristics of genes that are of value to agriculture How to find them using evolutionary analyses and where are they likely to reside in the genome? Baumgarten et al. 2002 R
