ABSTRACT
From chestnut rose, a promising fruit crop of the Rosa genus, powdery mildew disease-resistant and susceptible genotypes and their F1 progeny were used to isolate nucleotide-binding-site (NBS)-encoding genes using 19 degenerate primer pairs and an additional cloning method called overlapping extension amplification. A total of 126 genes were harvested; of these, 38 were from a resistant parent, 37 from a susceptible parent, and 51 from F1 progeny. A phylogenetic tree was constructed, which revealed that NBS sequences from parents and F1 progeny tend to form a mixture and are well distributed among the branches of the tree. Mapping of these NBS genes suggested that their ...
