Abstract
Provided herein are proteins capable of providing a mildew resistant phenotype, or mildew resistance, to plants belonging to the Kalanchoe genus. Also provided herein are nucleic acid sequences, or cDNA sequences, and genes encoding the present proteins. Further provided herein are methods using the proteins, nucleic acid sequences and genes for selecting mildew resistant Kalanchoe plants, such as Oidium kalanchoeae resistant Kalanchoe plants, and to generate mildew resistant Kalanchoe plants, such as Oidium kalanchoeae resistant Kalanchoe plants, comprising the present proteins, mRNA forms of the present cDNAs or the present genes.
Claims21
-18. (canceled)
A protein comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1, wherein the sequence comprises one or more amino acid substitutions, deletions, or insertions, and wherein said one or more amino acid substitutions, deletions, or insertions provides mildew resistance in a Kalanchoe plant as compared to a Kalanchoe plant comprising a protein having the sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1.
A method for obtaining a Kalanchoe plant that is resistant to mildew, comprising introducing one or more substitutions, deletions, or insertions in a nucleic acid having the sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 3 into a Kalanchoe plant, wherein the mutation results in one or more amino acid substitutions, deletions, or insertions in a protein having the sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 and resistance to mildew.
A Kalanchoe plant comprising a protein comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 2 and exhibiting resistance to mildew.
