<i>HERO</i> RESISTANCE GENE CONFERRING RESISTANCE TO NEMATODES

摘要

The invention relates to a hero resistance gene and gene fragments thereof, for the biosynthesis of proteins which generate resistance to nematodes, especially Globodera cyst nematodes; to their isolation and to their use for the genetic transformation of susceptible plants such as potato, tomato and aubergine. It was found that the hero resistance gene codes the protein sequence according to figure 1. The corresponding gene sequence was used for producing plants with resistance to Globodera cyst nematodes using gene technology.
