X. campestris pv. vesieatoria (Xcv) Is a bacterial pathogen of tomato and pepper. Xcv is able to infect most tomato lines. causing bacterial spot disease. which can lead to death. A strain of Xcv exists. however. which elicits a resistance response In a particular tomato line. ThIs avirulent strain carries a single locus. the aviru1ence gene avrRxv, whIch specifies the resistance inducing activity. Accordlng to Flor's gene for gene model, a corresponding gene must exist in the resistant plant. Evidence exists for this gene but it has not yet been cloned. In this study, the role ofthe avrRxv gene product …
