Patent ID: RE44698

Claim:
A lettuce plant showing a reduced susceptibility towards infection with an oomycete Bremia lactucae , wherein the plant has genetic information in its genome which is responsible for the reduced susceptibility for oomycetes towards Bremia lactucae, wherein the genetic information is as found in a lettuce plant, representative seed of which was deposited under NCIMB accession number 41294, 41295, 41296, 41297, 41298, 41299, 41300, 41301, 41302, 41303, 41304, 41305, 41306, 41307, 41308, 41309, 41310, 41311, 41312, 41313, 41314, 41315, 41316, 41317, 41318, 41319, 41320 , 41321, 41322 or 41323 ; wherein the reduced susceptibility towards Bremia lactucae is not R-gene mediated .
