The RPP13 [recognition of Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis (previously known as Peronospora parasitica)] resistance (R) gene in Arabidopsis thaliana exhibits the highest reported level of sequence diversity among known R genes. Consistent with a co-evolutionary model, the matching effector protein ATR13 (A. thaliana-recognized) from H.

- - RPP13 is a highly variable resistance gene in Arabidopsis that interacts with ATR13, a protein from the pathogenic downy mildew, indicating a coevolution between the host and pathogen proteins.
- - ATR13 has five distinct functional domains, and while the RXLR motif is important for transport into plant cells, it isn't necessary for recognition by RPP13.
- - Research identified key amino acids in ATR13's structure that are crucial for recognition by RPP13, specifically a required threonine residue and modulating roles for arginine and glutamic acid in recognition specificity.
