Abstract
A blast disease-resistance gene (Pi-b), a functionally equivalent gene thereof and proteins encoded by the genes are provided. The gene is useful for creating a plant resistant to the blast disease and can confer a resistance to a broad range of the rice blast fungi on plants. Therefore, it is useful for controlling the disease and increasing crop yields.
Claims16
An isolated DNA encoding a protein that confers on a plant resistance to a blast disease caused by a fungal pathogen, wherein the protein comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1.
An isolated DNA encoding a protein that confers on a plant resistance to blast disease caused by a fungal pathogen, said DNA comprising a nucleotide sequence which hybridizes under highly stringent conditions to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 2 or SEQ ID NO:
- 3.
An isolated DNA encoding a protein that confers on a plant resistance to blast disease caused by a fungal pathogen, said protein having an amino acid sequence which is 90% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1.
An isolated DNA comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 2.
An isolated DNA comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 3.
An isolated DNA encoding a protein which comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1.
