    摘要: The present invention relates to methods for producing plants with increased fungal resistance, preferably seedling resistance against Northern Corn Leaf Blight. Further provided are methods for introducing, modifying, or modulating at least one wall-associated kinase (WAK) in(to) a plant cell, tissue, organ, or whole plant and thereby causing a reduced synthesis of benzoxazinoid and in turn increased fungal resistance. There are further provided methods to identify and/or modify downstream effector molecules in a WAK signalling cascade. Finally, plant cells, tissues, organs or whole plants having increased fungal resistance and methods using substances to activate signalling pathways in a targeted way are provided. The present invention thus relates to WAKs as master regulators and crucial signaling mediators in plant defense against fungal disease and the regulation and cross-talk mechanisms in the WAK signaling cascade and further gives examples for establishing novel anti-fungal strategies relevant for a series of crop plants.

    摘要: Sorghum plants are provided which are capable of inducing haploidy by modifications in the genome related to a pollen-specific expressed patatin phospholipid producing haploid offspring and can be produced for hybrid breeding in short time by chromosome doubling inbred lines, that is, homozygous father and mother lines. In addition, methods are provided for producing transgenic and non-transgenic plant haploid inducers and improving the induction performance of plants.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for selecting or identifying a B. napus plant having resistance to Phoma stem canker, such as resistance to fungal pathogen(s) L. maculans and/or L. biglobosa, comprising detecting in said B. napus plant, or part thereof (such as tissue or seed), the presence or absence of at least one marker which is on a chromosomal interval between SEQ ID No: 1 and SEQ ID No: 10. The present invention also provides kits of primers for identifying a B. napus plant having resistance to Phoma stem canker, such as resistance to fungal pathogen(s) L. maculans and/or L. biglobosa. Also provided is the use of a marker as defined herein, or a sequence selected from SEQ ID No: 1-10, or a kit of primers according to the present invention to select a B. napus plant having resistance to Phoma stem canker, such as resistance to fungal pathogen(s) L. maculans and/or L. biglobosa.
