Patent ID: 11603538

Abstract:
The present invention relates to an allele designated alpha-WOLF 25 which confers resistance to at least one Peronospora farinosa f. sp. spinacea race, wherein the protein encoded by said allele is a CC-NB S-LRR protein that comprises in its amino acid sequence: a) the motif “MAEIGYSVC” at its N-terminus; and b) the motif “KWMCLR”; and wherein the LRR domain of the protein has in order of increased preference at least 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 100% sequence similarity to SEQ ID NO: 5. The allele when present in a spinach plant confers complete resistance to at least Peronospora farinosa f sp. spinacea race Pfs:8, Pfs15 and Pfs:16, and does not confer resistance to Pfs:3.
