SORGHUM PURPLE LEAF SPOT-RELATED GENE AND USE OF SAME

摘要

As the results of a mapping of a purple leaf spot disease gene ds1 in populations F3 to F5 obtained by mating a purple leaf spot-resistant variety with a disease variety, the gene was successfully identified. Further, it was discovered that resistance to purple leaf spot can be imparted to sorghum by inhibiting the expression of the ds1 gene or mutating the same.
