Race-specific resistance against <i>V. dahliae</i> race 1 is determined by tomato Ve1, a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) receptor-like protein (RLP). Furthermore, homologous proteins have been found in various plant families. Herein, four homologs of tomato Ve1 were identified in the flax proteome database. The selected proteins were named LuVe11, LuVe12, LuVe13 and LuVe14 and were compared to other Ve1. Sequence alignments and phylogenic analysis were conducted and detected a high similarity in the content of amino acids and that of the <i>Verticillium</i> spp. race 1 resistancPlants (Basel, Switzerland)162https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC7830857biostudies-literatureIdentification of Tomato Ve1 Homologous Proteins in Flax and Assessment for Race-Specific Resistance in Two Fiber FlaxCultivars against <i>Verticillium dahliae</i> Race 1.PMC7830857Trinsoutrot-Gattin ICastel LDriouich ABlum ALaval KfalseIdentification of Tomato Ve1 Homologous Proteins in Flax and Assessment for Race-Specific Resistance in Two Fiber FlaxCultivars against <i>Verticillium dahliae</i> Race 1.In the last decade, the soil borne fungal pathogen <i>Verticillium dahliae</i> has had an increasingly strong effect on fiber flax (<i>Linum usitatissimum</i> L.), thus causing important yield losses in Normandy, France.
