The protein sequence of Arabidopsis thaliana AtMlo1 (GenBank
accession: Z95352) was used for tblastn searching in the transcriptome
shotgun assembly (TSA) database of rubber tree. A TSA
sequence (GenBank accession: JT927709) derived from rubber tree
clone RRIM 600 was yielded, which contained the ORF of Mlo1 gene.
Primers HbMlo1-F1 and HbMlo1-R1 (Table 1) were designed flanking
the ORF of Mlo1, and used to amplify HbMlo1 by RT-PCR with
the cDNA of Reyan 7-33-97 as template
