Abstract: The research of resistance genes is the basis of disease resistance breeding and plant diseases controlling. Arabidopsis NDR1(non-race-specific disease resistance 1)gene, encoding a plasma membrane protein, plays an important role in the R gene mediated disease resistance, by interacting with CC-NB-LRR(nucleic acid binding or coiled-coil leucine-rich repeat)class of antiviral proteins. Here, we summarized the latest progresses of Arabidopsis NDR1 gene and the broad-spectrum disease resistance of NDR1.

Key words: Disease resistance gene, NDR1, CC-NB-LRR
