Candidate R-gene identification by Effectoromics in Solanum demissum universal differential sets, Ma. R5, Ma.R8, Ma.R9

Late blight is the most important and destructive potato fungi-like pathogen in the world and is one of the major diseases on this crop in Iran. So, many researches have been done in the world to find pathogenesis mechanisms but there is a few in Iran. R-gene identification using effector genomics or effectoromics is one of the novel modern techniques. Effectors are pathogen molecules that manipulate host cell structure and function thereby facilitating infection and triggering defense responses such as HR. Profiling R-Avr interactions can lead to significant process in acquiring genetic resistance against the most destructive potato pathogen, namely late blight. Assessment of effector genes collection that are available by using computational methods from the pathogen in three important differential sets, Ma R5, Ma R8, Ma R9 from S.demissum was done. To identify functional candidate genes responses to the set of pGR106-effectors tested by PVX Agroinfection. Based on the results, Ma. R5 and Ma. R9 are containing R2-like genes and Ma. R8 contain R3a. This study shows, effectoromics as a promising novel technique to find new candidate resistance gene
