Patent ID: 8222486

Claim:
An isolated nucleic acid molecule, comprising a nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of: i) a nucleic acid sequence comprising a nucleotide sequence which comprises the coding sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, ii) a nucleic acid sequence comprising a nucleotide sequence which codes for a protein with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 2, iii) a nucleic acid sequence comprising a nucleotide sequence which has at least 96% sequence identity with the coding sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, and iv) a nucleic acid sequence comprising a nucleotide sequence which, under high stringent conditions comprising a wash step of 0.2×SSC at 65° C., hybridizes with a complementary strand of the nucleotide sequence of i) to iii), which codes for a protein which confers an increased fungal pathogen resistance in plants.
