Abstract
The invention relates to a nucleic acid sequence that improves resistance to biotrophic pathogens, in particular to Pseudomonas syringae, without affecting susceptibility to necrotrophs, in particular Botrytis cinerea. The present invention also relates to a plant that comprises the nucleic acid of the invention and a method to generate plants resistant to biotrophic pathogens and necrotrophs.
Claims14
An isolated nucleic acid sequence that comprises a modified JAZ nucleic acid, operably linked to a promoter that regulates the specific expression of the nucleic acid in the guard cells of the stomata, wherein said modified JAZ encodes a polypeptide comprising a ZIM domain, but not a functional Jas motif;
- a functional variant of the modified JAZ/JAZ, a homologue or orthologue thereof.
