Abstract

Little is known of how plant disease resistance (R) proteins recognize pathogens and activate plant defenses. Rcr3 is specifically required for the function of Cf-2 , a Lycopersicon pimpinellifolium gene bred into cultivated tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum ) for resistance to Cladosporium fulvum. Rcr3 encodes a secreted papain-like cysteine endoprotease. Genetic analysis shows Rcr3 is allelic to the L. pimpinellifolium Ne gene, which suppresses the Cf-2 –dependent autonecrosis conditioned by its L. esculentum allele, ne ( necrosis ). Rcr3 alleles from these two species encode proteins that differ by only seven amino acids. Possible roles of Rcr3 in Cf-2–dependent defense and autonecrosis are discussed.
