Polypeptide compounds and nucleotide sequences promoting resistance to eutypa dieback in plants

摘要

Polypeptide compounds and nucleotide sequences promoting resistance to eutypa dieback in plants The subject of the invention is a nucleotide sequence coding for an enzyme with eutypine reductase activity, capable of metabolizing the eutypine synthesized in plants by a fungus of the Eutypa lata or Libertella blepharis type. The overproduction of eutypine reductase by the plant host of the fungus enables the consequences of the presence of this fungus in plants to be attenuated or even eradicated.
