Brassica oleracea plants with a resistance to albugo candida

摘要

The present invention relates to Brassica oleracea plants with a resistancegene to Albugo Candida, the cause of white blister. The invention also relatesto a method for providing a Brassica oleracea plant with a resistance to AlbugoCandida, comprising of (a) providing a first B. oleracea plant which comprisesa resistance gene to A. Candida; (b) crossing the resistant plant with a susceptiblesecond B. oleracea plant; (c) isolating genomic DNA from the progeny for detectingthe presence of an introgression with the resistance gene using one or more specificDNA markers linked to the resistance gene; and (d) selecting from the progenya B. oleracea plant in which the presence of the introgression with the resistancegene has been demonstrated in step (c).
