Abstract
Compositions and methods for generating maize plants that exhibit resistance to northern leaf blight are provided herein. Polynucleotides encoding a polypeptide that confers resistance to northern leaf blight, polynucleotide constructs comprising such, and maize plants comprising the polynucleotide constructs are provided.
Claims13
A DNA construct comprising a polynucleotide selected from the group consisting of:
- a. a nucleotide sequence having at least 90% sequence identity when compared to set forth in any one of SEQ ID NOs:
- 1, 2, or 6;
- or
- b. a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence having at least 90% sequence identity when compared to SEQ ID NO:
- 3;
- wherein said polynucleotide is operably linked to a promoter.

A method for producing a maize plant that exhibits resistance to northern leaf blight (NLB) comprising,
- a. expressing in a regenerable maize plant cell a heterologous polynucleotide construct comprising a polynucleotide operably linked to at least one regulatory sequence, wherein the polynucleotide is selected from the group consisting of:
- i. a nucleotide sequence having at least 90% sequence identity when compared to set forth in any one of SEQ ID NOs:
- 1, 2, or 6;
- or
- ii. a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence having at least 90% sequence identity when compared to SEQ ID NO:
- 3;
- and
- b. generating a maize plant that exhibits resistance to northern leaf blight, wherein said maize plant comprises in its genome the polynucleotide construct.
