The barley Rar1 gene is an essential component of the race-specific, Mla-12-specified powdery mildew resistance reaction. As part of a map-based cloning strategy designed to isolate Rar1, five barley yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) have been identified, ranging in size from 300 to 1100 kb. PCR-based YAC end-specific markers have been established and were employed to construct a local YAC contig. Four out of five YAC clones were found to be non-colinear with the source DNA. High-resolution genetic mapping of the YAC ends demonstrated that the set of five overlapping YAC clones encompasses the barley Rar1 gene.

The () of barley ( L.) is an effective model for cereal immunity against fungal pathogens. Like many resistance proteins, variants of the MLA coiled-coil nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (CC-NLR) receptor often require the HRS complex (HSP90, RAR1, and SGT1) to function.

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Mla (Mildew resistance locus a) and its nucleotide-binding, leucine-rich-repeat receptor (NLR) orthologs protect many cereal crops from diseases caused by fungal pathogens. However, large segments of the Mla pathway and its mechanisms remain unknown.

The cereal cyst nematode resistance locus Rha2 was mapped to a 978 kbp region on the long arm of barley chromosome 2H. Three candidate genes are discussed. The cereal cyst nematode (CCN) Heterodera avenae is a soil-borne obligate parasite that can cause severe damage to cereals.

Leaf scald caused by the infection of Rhynchosporium secalis, is a worldwide crop disease resulting in significant loss of barley yield. In this study, a systematic sequencing of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) was chosen to obtain a global picture of the assembly of genes involved in pathogenesis. To identify a large number of plant ESTs, which are induced at different time points, an amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) display of complementary DNA (cDNA) was utilized.
