  2. Objective 1: Optimization of long range PCR (LR-PCR) for recovery of R gene orthologs (summary of previously reported research) Towards improved LR-PCR, we evaluated: ● six genomic DNA extraction methods ● multiple LR-PCR primers for RB ● five LR-PCR (Taq) systems ● two cloning systems Criteria for evaluation: ● amplification of target sequence ● minimal amplification of non-target ● sequence fidelity (low error rates) Status: complete 3 presentations at national / international meetings accepted (in press): Molecular Breeding

  3. Objective 2: Testing / Demonstration of LR-PCR method for RB locus (update of previously reported research) Hypotheses from previous research: ● #1: RB (functional allele) is frequent occurring ● #2: RB is Type II (slow evolving, little paralog interchange) We used improved LR-PCR methods for RB recovery in 44 S. bulbocastanum genotypes; successful amplicon in 17 genotypes (~40% success). Conclusion highlights (details on following slides): ●Intron and LRR sequence confirms recovery of orthologs (true alleles) ●RB (functional) and rb (non-functional) alleles predominate (consistent with hypothesis #1) ●Identified rc-RB, an unique recombinant allele: traumatic paralog rearrangement; ~3kb insert of unknown origin; event occurred in planta (refutes hypothesis #2)

  4. Objective 2: Testing / Demonstration of LR-PCR method for RB locus (update of previously reported research) INTRON LRR Clade rb susceptibility allele RGA1 RB RGA 3 RGA4 RBtr Clade RB resistance allele LRR Intron and LRR sequence confirms recovery of orthologs (true alleles)

  5. Objective 2: Testing / Demonstration of LR-PCR method for RB locus (update of previously reported research) Clade rb susceptibility allele Clade RB resistance allele LRR RB (functional) and rb (non-functional) alleles predominate

  7. Objective 2: Testing / Demonstration of LR-PCR method for RB locus (update of previously reported research) Status: final analyses on-going presented at 2 national / international conferences manuscript to be submitted (in ~6 weeks): ● Plant Journal or ●Molecular Plant Microbe Interactions Future Directions: PCR characterization of Rc-RB distribution characterization of 3kb unique insert

  8. Nested within Objective 2 Entire geographic distribution 3 morphologically- defined subspecies Objective 3: Germplasm selection strategy for maximal diversity: characterize potential predictors of R gene allelic diversity (update of previously reported research) ● Geographic distribution ● Morphological variation ● Within vs. between population relationships RB LR-PCR on 44 S. bulbocastanum genotypes: 12 populations multiple genotypes/pop

  9. Clade rb susceptibility allele Clade RB resistance allele LRR Objective 3: Germplasm selection strategy for maximal diversity: characterize potential predictors of R gene allelic diversity (update of previously reported research) Low levels of RB allelic diversity; no obvious correlation with: ● Geographic distribution ● Morphological variation ● Within vs. between population relationships

  10. Objective 3: Germplasm selection strategy for maximal diversity: characterize potential predictors of R gene allelic diversity (Newly reported research) ● Genome-wide diversity “Can we predict genome-wide diversity?” “Does greater genome-wide diversity = greater R gene diversity?” AFLP analysis (1-3 primer pairs) of 151 S. bulbocastanum genotypes ●entire geographic distribution ●3 morphologically-defined subspecies ●44 populations (2-5 genotypes/population) ●includes genotypes used in RB allelic mining study

  11. Objective 3: Germplasm selection strategy for maximal diversity: characterize potential predictors of R gene allelic diversity (Newly reported research) Global Conclusion: S. bulbocastanum, as a species, lacks clear genetic structure; suggests extensive gene flow

  12. Objective 3: Germplasm selection strategy for maximal diversity: characterize potential predictors of R gene allelic diversity (Newly reported research) ssp. bulbocastanum ssp. dolichophyllum ssp. partitum

  13. Objective 3: Germplasm selection strategy for maximal diversity: characterize potential predictors of R gene allelic diversity (Newly reported research) 87.65% 12.35% 87.25% 12.75% 84.66% 15.34% AMOVA (partitions observed molecular variation): Within Between Geographic locale Subspecies classification Within vs. between population

  14. Objective 3: Germplasm selection strategy for maximal diversity: characterize potential predictors of R gene allelic diversity (Newly reported research) ● Genome-wide diversity “Can we predict genome-wide diversity?” S. bulbocastanum lacks clear genetic structure: geographic origin, morphological variation, and within vs. between population relationships do not predict genetic diversity “Does greater genome-wide diversity = greater R gene diversity?” Although we uncovered little RB allelic diversity, RB and rb were found from genotypes throughout our dendrogram: total genome diversity does not predict RB allelic diversity

  15. Objective 3: Germplasm selection strategy for maximal diversity: characterize potential predictors of R gene allelic diversity (Newly reported research) ● Genome-wide diversity Status: complete presented at 3 national / international conferences manuscript submitted (Dec 2005): Molecular Breeding Future Directions: effects of mating system (see following slides)

  16. Objective 3: Germplasm selection strategy for maximal diversity: characterize potential predictors of R gene allelic diversity (Proposed research) ● Mating system Results of RB allelic mining and AFLP diversity analyses are consistent with extensive gene flow throughout S. bulbocastanum. S. bulbocastanum is an obligate allogamous (outcrossing) species Consistent with NSF Potato Genome Project goals for R gene allelic mining throughout the genus Solanum, we will pursue genome-wide (AFLP) and RB homolog diversity (see Objective 4) analyses in S. polyadenium, an obligate autogamous (selfing) species.

  17. Objective 3: Germplasm selection strategy for maximal diversity: characterize potential predictors of R gene allelic diversity (Proposed research) S. polyadenium is resistant to late blight (left) and Verticillium (right). ● diploid, autogamous ● closely related to S. bulbocastanum ● potential for potato improvement

  18. Objective 3: Germplasm selection strategy for maximal diversity: characterize potential predictors of R gene allelic diversity (Proposed research) ● Mating system Experimental Plan Sampling approach: Entire Potato Genebank collection Entire geographic distribution Multiple genotypes/population Data to be generated: AFLP RB homologs (Objective 4)

  19. Objective 4: Development of PCR approaches for R gene homolog recovery (New, ongoing, and proposed research) Impetus: Advisory Committee, 2005 “…sample more easily amplified fragments of the genes…” Our response: We are targeting the informative RB LRR and intron regions. These regions are amplified from genomic DNA using primers generic to all RB paralogs, allowing isolation of RB homologs (note different focus than Objective 2), from multiple genotypes with emphasis on S. bulbocastanum, S. polyadenium, and more distantly related Solanaceous species. We are testing approaches to “fingerprint” amplified fragments for targeted sequencing, reducing overall costs: Ecotilling, DGGE

  20. Objective 4: Development of PCR approaches for R gene homolog recovery (New, ongoing, and proposed research) INTRON LRR Intron (~860bp): ● divergent between paralogs ●used to define RB “alleles” LRR (~1,685bp): ●divergent between paralogs ●divergent between RB alleles ●subtle changes = big effect (?)
