Plant Resistence Genes Project

Plant Resistance Genes db

PRG database is a web resource containing 16884 plant disease resistance genes (R-Genes). These genes play a key role in the recognition of the products of pathogen avirulence (Avr) genes and in the activation of plant defence responses.
We aim to provide the most up-to-date collection of well-characterized genes as well as an accurate prediction of novel putative plant disease resistance genes among many plant species. Hence, this resource will be updated regularly to incorporate new sequences from several sources. For more information about the computational protocol used for these analyses, please see the information page.

To date, the database includes:

113 manually curated reference R-Genes

124 pathogens

192 plant species

6308 putative R-Genes collected from NCBI

10463 putative R-Genes computationally predicted from Unigene ORF domain prediction
