Estimating the term…
A more efficient breeding against Cercospora leaf spot disease, or the development of new resistant lines, is enabled via the provision of the Cercospora resistance-mediating gene according to the invention; in particular, a dominant resistance effect in the target plant is evoked by the property of the identified gene alone. The Cercospora resistance-mediating gene, and embodiments of the present invention that are described in the preceding, offer additional applications, e.g., the use of the resistant gene allele in cis-genetic or trans-genetic approaches, with the goal of developing new resistant cultivars.
A plant of the subspecies Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris comprising a nucleic acid molecule encoding a polypeptide that is able to confer resistance to Cercospora beticola in a plant in which the polypeptide is expressed, characterized in that the nucleic acid molecule comprises a nucleotide sequence which is selected from the group consisting of:
A method of producing an agronomical sugar beet plant of the genus Beta that displays improved resistance to Cercospora beticola, the method comprising introgressing into said plant a chromosomal interval that confers resistance to Cercospora beticola, wherein the chromosomal interval maps to a position between a sequence represented by a marker selected from the group consisting of:
