Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of conferring or increasing resistance against fungal pathogens in plants, plant parts, and/or plant cells. To this end the invention focuses on facilitating or increasing the production and/or accumulation of a Myb41-type transcription factor (Myb41), fragment or homolog thereof in a plant, plant part and/or plant cell compared to corresponding wild type plants, wild type plant parts and/or wild type plant cells. The invention also relates to plants, plant parts, and/or plant cells having an increased resistance against fungal pathogens and to material and methods to create or use such plants plant parts or to produce products therefrom.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an Lr67 allele differing from a soybean Lr67 wild type gene as defined herein. The allele unexpectedly conveys, intensifies or stabilizes fungal pathogen tolerance or resistance to a plant, seed, cell, or other plant part, most preferably against rusts of genus Phakopsora in leguminous plants or parts thereof. The invention in particular provides cells, expression constructs and plants and parts thereof, for example seed, comprising the Lr67 allele, and products obtainable or obtained therefrom. The invention also provides ensembles or populations of plants or accumulations of seed. Furthermore, the invention provides uses and methods to make use of the Lr67 allele of the invention and to realize the advantages conferred thereby. In particular, the invention provides methods for creating a cell, plant or part thereof comprising the Lr67 allele, and methods for producing a plant population having resistance against a fungal pathogen. Further methods according to the invention relate to the reduction or abolition of susceptibility of a plant or part thereof to infections by a fungal pathogen, for assaying the susceptibility to fungal pathogen infection and for preparation of feed or food products. The Lr67 allele of the invention can be incorporated into the plant transgenically or via man-directed mutagenesis.

IPC: C12N15/82

Abstract: The present invention pertains to the field of imparting or increasing resistance against fungal pathogens, in particular soy-beanrust, in plants, plant parts, and/or plant cells. This is achieved by increasing the content of scopoletin, scopolin and/or, most preferably, scoparone (6,7-di-methoxycoumarin) in a plant, plant part and/or plant cell. This can in particular be achieved by establishing and/or increasing the expression of an OMT3 enzyme and an F6H1 protein in the respective plant, plant part and/or plant cell; a further way would be to apply a formulation or solution containing scopoletin and/or, most preferably, scoparone to the plant, plant part and/or plant cell. The invention correspondingly also provides proteins, enzymes, expression constructs, plants, plant parts and/or plant cells. In this respect the invention also provides variants of the OMT3 enzyme.

Abstract: The present invention relates to plant breeding and farming. In particular the invention relates to materials and methods for improving plant yield, especially of soybean. Preferably such improvement is visible under fungal pathogen stress, caused e.g. by soybean rust. Methods of the invention comprise cultivating a plant comprising a heterologous expression cassette comprising a gene selected from Pti5, SAR8.2 and RLK2.
