Leprosy resistant Chrysanthemum plant

摘要

The present invention relates to a chrysanthemum resistant plant of the genus Chrysanthemum and its seeds, plant parts, plant cells and progeny. The present invention further relates to a means, in particular molecular markers, for identifying chrysanthemum resistant plants. Specifically, the present invention relates to a plant belonging to the genus Chrysanthemum, wherein the plant is resistant to leprosy, and the plant comprises at least one genomic region or gene or allele that confers resistance to leprosy, The genomic region or gene or allele that confers mania resistance is genetically linked to the nucleic acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 2 and contained in at least one copy in the genome of the resistant plant. Preferably, the plant of the present invention comprises in its genome an additional genomic region or gene or allele that confers resistance to leprosy, and the genomic region or gene or allele that confers leprosy is the genome of the resistant plant. At least one copy contained therein and genetically linked to the nucleic acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 1.
