Abstract

The RPS5 disease resistance gene of Arabidopsis mediates recognition of Pseudomonas syringae strains that possess the avirulence gene avrPphB. By screening for loss of RPS5-specified resistance, we identified five pbs (avrPphB susceptible) mutants that represent three different genes. Mutations in PBS1 completely blocked RPS5-mediated resistance, but had little to no effect on resistance specified by other disease resistance genes, suggesting that PBS1 facilitates recognition of the avrPphB protein. The pbs2 mutation dramatically reduced resistance mediated by the RPS5 and RPM1 resistance genes, but had no detectable effect on resistance mediated by RPS4 and had an intermediate effect on RPS2-mediated resistance. The pbs2 mutation also had varying effects on resistance mediated by seven different RPP (recognition of Peronospora parasitica) genes. These data indicate that the PBS2 protein functions in a pathway that is important only to a subset of disease-resistance genes. The pbs3 mutation partially suppressed all four P. syringae-resistance genes (RPS5, RPM1, RPS2, and RPS4), and it had weak-to-intermediate effects on the RPP genes. In addition, the pbs3 mutant allowed higher bacterial growth in response to a virulent strain of P. syringae, indicating that the PBS3 gene product functions in a pathway involved in restricting the spread of both virulent and avirulent pathogens. The pbs mutations are recessive and have been mapped to chromosomes I (pbs2) and V (pbs1 and pbs3).
