Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to new transporter polypeptides, and genes encoding therefor, which can be used to confer upon a plant resistance to one or more biotrophic fungal pathogens.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A genetically modified cereal plant comprising a gene encoding an Lr67 polypeptide which comprises amino acids having the sequence as provided in SEQ ID NO: 1 or an amino acid sequence which is at least 95% identical to SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein the gene has a genetic modification such that the polypeptide does not comprise a glycine at a position corresponding to amino acid number 144 of SEQ ID NO:1. 2. The genetically modified cereal plant of claim 1 , wherein when expressed in the plant, the Lr67 polypeptide confers upon the plant resistance to one or more biotrophic fungal pathogen(s). 3. The genetically modified cereal plant of claim 2 , wherein the one or more biotrophic fungal pathogen(s) is selected from the group consisting of Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici, Fusarium graminearum, Bipolaris sorokiniana, Erysiphe graminis f. sp. tritici, Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici, Puccinia striiformis, Puccinia hordei and Puccinia recondita f. sp. tritici. 4. The genetically modified cereal plant of claim 1 , wherein the Lr67 polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence which is at least 97% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1. 5. The genetically modified cereal plant of claim 1 , wherein the Lr67 polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence which is at least 99% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1. 6. The genetically modified cereal plant of claim 1 which has enhanced resistance to one or more biotrophic fungal pathogen(s) when compared to an isogenic plant lacking the genetic modification. 7. The genetically modified cereal plant of claim 1 which has enhanced resistance to one or more biotrophic fungal pathogen(s) at the seedling stage of growth. 8. The genetically modified cereal plant of claim 1 which is a wheat plant. 9. The genetically modified cereal plant of claim 1 which is a wheat plant, wherein the Lr67 polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence which is at least 99% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1. 10. The genetically modified cereal plant of claim 1 which is a wheat plant, wherein the Lr67 polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence which is at least 99% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, and wherein the cereal plant has enhanced resistance to one or more biotrophic fungal pathogen(s) when compared to an isogenic plant lacking the genetic modification. 11. The genetically modified cereal plant of claim 1 which is a wheat plant, wherein the Lr67 polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence which is at least 99% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, and wherein the cereal plant has enhanced resistance to one or more biotrophic fungal pathogen(s) when compared to an isogenic plant lacking the genetic modification, and wherein the one or more biotrophic fungal pathogen(s) is selected from the group consisting of Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici, Fusarium graminearum, Bipolaris sorokiniana, Erysiphe graminis f. sp. tritici, Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici, Puccinia striiformis, Puccinia hordei and Puccinia recondita f. sp. tritici. 12. A seed of the genetically modified cereal plant of claim 1 wherein the seed comprises the gene.
