Abstract

Abstract The wheat Pm3 resistance gene against the powdery mildew pathogen occurs as an allelic series encoding functionally different immune receptors which induce resistance upon recognition of isolate-specific avirulence (AVR) effectors from the pathogen. Here, we describe the identification of five effector proteins from the mildew pathogens of wheat, rye, and the wild grass Dactylis glomerata , specifically recognized by the PM3B, PM3C and PM3D receptors. Together with the earlier identified AVRPM3 A2/F2 , the recognized AVRs of PM3B/C, (AVRPM3 B2/C2 ), and PM3D (AVRPM3 D3 ) belong to a large group of proteins with low sequence homology but predicted structural similarities. AvrPm3 b2/c2 and AvrPm3 d3 are conserved in all tested isolates of wheat and rye mildew, and non-host infection assays demonstrate that Pm3b , Pm3c , and Pm3d are also restricting the growth of rye mildew on wheat. Furthermore, divergent AVR homologues from non-adapted rye and Dactylis mildews are recognized by PM3B, PM3C, or PM3D, demonstrating their involvement in host specificity.
