Resistance gene and uses thereof

摘要

The invention provides methods for producing a plant with altered resistance to powdery mildew, the methods comprising transformation of a plant with a genetic construct including a polynucleotide encoding of a polypeptide with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 or a variant of fragment thereof. The invention also provides isolated polypeptides, polynucleotides, contructs and vectors useful for producing a plant cell and plants tranformed to contain and express the polypeptides, polynucleotides and constructs. The invention also provides plants produced by methods of the invention.
