One gene that was expected to code the NBS-LRR protein was also present on the corresponding sequences of the BAC clone 14H01, as revealed by the rice genome automated annotation system (RiceGAAS). Rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE)-PCR was performed, and cDNA encoding coiled coil-nucleotide binding site-leucine rich repeat (CC-NBS-LRR) protein was cloned and sequenced, using primers designed from the sequence data of the BAC clone 14H01A.
