Abstract:Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivars Flambeau and Merit differed in their resistance to Pseudomonas syringae pv glycinea (Psg) race 4, carrying each of four different avirulence (avr) genes cloned from Psg or the related bacterium, Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato. Segragation data for F2 and F3 progeny of Flambeau .times. Merit crosses indicated that single dominant and nonallelic genes account for resistance to Psg race 4, carrying avirulence genes avrA, avrB, avrC, or avrD. Segregants were also recovered that carried all four or none of the disease resistance genes. One of the disease resistance genes (Rpg1, complementing bacterial avirulence gene B) had been described previously, but the other three genes -designated Rpg2, Rpg3, and Rpg4- had not here to fore been defined. Rpg3 and Rpg4 are linked (40.5 .+-. 3.2 recombination units). Rpg4 complements avrD, cloned from Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato, but a functional copy of this avirulence gene has not thus far been observed in Pseudomonas syringae pv glycinea. Resistance gene Rpg4 therefore may account in part for the resistance of soybean to Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato and other pathogens harboring avrD.
