Abstract
The present invention relates to an isolated plant nucleic acid which confers resistance to Tospoviruses as well as expression systems, host cells, and transgenic plants transformed with such a nucleic acid. Other aspects of the present invention relate to a method of imparting to plants, resistance to Tospoviruses by transforming plants with the nucleic acid of the present invention or to a method of eliciting a hypersensitive response in plants.
Claims24
An isolated plant nucleic acid molecule which imparts resistance in plants to a Tospovirus and is a nucleotide-binding site-leucine-rich repeat resistance gene, wherein the nucleic acid molecule consists essentially of either:
- 1) a nucleotide sequence that encodes a protein having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 2 or 2) the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1.
