Estimating the term…
The present invention relates to plants comprising in their genome a gene that has been inactivated rendering the plant resistant to Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV) infection. The present invention also refers to the inactivation of the gene required for PepMV infection. The invention encompasses parts of these plants and their progeny that show said gene inactivation and as a consequence an improved phenotype in terms of PepMV infection resistance. Methods for obtaining plants, or plant parts or seeds with resistance to PepMV infection are also part of this invention. The present invention further relates to the gene and sequences linked to it as markers for selecting plants resistant to PepMV infection. Therefore, the present invention belongs to the field of agriculture.
A plant or part thereof, reproductive or propagating plant material or a plant cell showing resistance to infection by pepino mosaic virus (PepMV) or improved phenotype in terms of PepMV infection resistance, characterized in that it comprises a gene which encodes for a protein, wherein said protein comprises an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
A method for selecting plants with resistance to infection by PepMV or with improved phenotype in terms of PepMV infection resistance compared to the wild type comprising the steps of:
