DNA sequences encoding proteins conferring Phytophthora infestans resistance on plants

摘要

Genomic sequences encoding Phytophthora infestans resistance proteins are provided herein. Specifically, sequences from potato required for P. infestans resistance have been cloned and sequence provided, together with the encoded amino acid sequence. DNA encoding the amino acid sequence or amino acid sequences showing a significant degree of homology thereto may be introduced into plant cells and the encoded polypeptide expressed, conferring P. infestans resistance on plants comprising such cells and descendants thereof.
