“…For instance, at least five R genes against diverse pathogens have been mapped to the GP21 – GP179 interval on chromosome 5 in different genetic backgrounds; Gpa and Grp1 conferring resistance to potato cyst nematodes ( Kreike et al, 1994 ; van der Voort et al, 1998 ), Nb and Rx2 conferring resistance to potato virus X ( Ritter et al, 1991 ; DeJong et al, 1997 ), and R1 conferring resistance to P. infestans ( Leonards-Schippers et al, 1992 ). In the current study, we found that Rpi2 was located in a major cluster on the long arm of chromosome 7 in which several R genes have been mapped, including Rpi1 conferring resistance to P. infestans, Gro1-4 conferring resistance to Globodera rostochiensis , and I-3 conferring resistance to Fusarium oxysporum ( Bournival et al, 1989 ; Ballvora et al, 1995 ; Kuhl et al, 2001 ; Paal et al, 2004 ; Ruggieri et al, 2014 ; Catanzariti et al, 2015 ). Clearly, this region is another hotspot for resistance genes, and can be expected to contain more resistance genes.…”
