Pieris brassicae egg-induced cell death of Brassica nigra is controlled by a single locus containing a cluster of TIR-NBS-LRR receptors

In this study, we found that P. brassicae egg-induced HR segregates as a Mendelian trait in wild accessions of black mustard B. nigra L. Through bulk-segregant analysis coupled with whole-genome sequencing (BSAseq),we identified a single dominant locus on chromosome B3 which we named PEK (Pieris egg-killing locus).<br>This dataset is part of Chapter 5 of the PhD thesis "E(gg)xit strategy of plant defense: Evolution and genetics of a butterfly egg-triggered cell death"
