Abstract
The invention provides tomato polynucleotides which, when transformed into a plant, confer on the plant resistance to Verticillium species. The polynucleotides of the invention are useful for producing transgenic plants that are resistant to Verticillium species.
Claims22
A purified and isolated polynucleotide, the expression of which in a plant confers on said plant resistance to at least one Verticillium species, wherein said polynucleotide encodes a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence depicted in SEQ ID NO:
- 4.
A purified and isolated polynucleotide, wherein the expression of said polynucleotide in a plant confers on said plant resistance to at least one Verticillium species, and wherein said polynucleotide encodes a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 80% identity to the amino acid sequence depicted in SEQ ID NO:
- 4.
