Abstract:
1. A method for creating broad-spectrum resistance to fungi in a transgenic plant, characterized in that a recombinant nucleic acid molecule comprising at least one nucleic acid sequence is introduced into the plant, wherein the at least one nucleic acid sequence is identical and/or complementary to the nucleic acid sequence according to SEQ ID NO 12, and/or a part thereof comprising at least 100 nucleotides, or has a sequence identity of at least 98% to the nucleic acid sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 12, and is transcribed in the plant, so that in case of an infection of the plant with a fungus, the nucleic acid sequence, or part thereof, interacts with one or more corresponding and/or complementary nucleic acids of the fungus, such that the expression of the fungal nucleic acid sequence is reduced by at least 80%, thereby creating broad-spectrum resistance to fungi in the transgenic plant, wherein the nucleic acid sequence comprises at least 100 nucleotides and wherein the nucleic acid sequence according to SED ID NO: 12 is the conserved region within the mitochondrial ADP/ATP translocator consensus sequence.
