Plant gene conferring resistance to Tospoviruses

摘要

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.
