Gene Details:

• Gene ID: TraesCS1B02G004100
• Gene Symbol: Snn1
• Gene Name: Snn1
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• The wheat Snn1 gene confers susceptibility to strains of the necrotrophic pathogen Parastagonospora nodorum that produce the SnTox1 protein.
• We report the positional cloning of Snn1, a member of the wall-associated kinase class of receptors, which are known to drive pathways for biotrophic pathogen resistance.
• We cloned and characterized Snn1 to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms of susceptibility operating in plant–necrotrophic pathogen interactions.
• Recognition of SnTox1 by Snn1 activates programmed cell death, which allows this necrotroph to gain nutrients and sporulate.
