Abstract
Degenerate PCR primers targeting conserved motifs of most NBS-LRR disease-resistant genes in plants were tested in Setaria italica Beauv. cultivar Shilixiang, which is resistant to Uromyces setariae-italicae. A sequence with a length of 2673 bp has been obtained by using Genomic Walking technology. The nucleotide sequence contained an open reading frame that encoded 891 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular mass of 101.44 kDa. It was named RUS1 (Resistance against Uromyces setariae-italicae, GenBank No. FJ467296). It contained an NB-ARC domain and three conserved motifs P-loop, kinase 2, and kinase 3, which had the characteristics of NBS-LRR type resistant gene of plant. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that it was similar to RPM1 and might belong to LZ-NBS-LRR type disease resistance gene. Southern blotting result displayed that there were at least three copies of RUS1 in the foxtail millet genome.
