    Abstract

    Mi-1, a Lycopersicon peruvianum gene conferring resistance to the agricultural pests, root-knot nematodes, and introgressed into tomato, has been cloned using a selective restriction fragment amplification based strategy. Complementation analysis of a susceptible tomato line with a 100 kb cosmid array yielded a single cosmid clone capable of conferring resistance both to the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita and to an unrelated pathogen, the potato aphid Macrosiphum euphorbiae. This resistance was stable. The Mi-1 gene encodes a protein sharing structural features with the nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat-containing type of plant resistance genes.
