Identification of a Xanthomonas euvesicatoria resistance gene from pepper (Capsicum annuum) and method for generating plants with resistance

摘要

The present invention relates to the identification of the xcv-1 gene, which is responsible for a recessive resistance to Xanthomonas euvesicatoria, by genetic mapping-based cloning from Capsicum annuum. In addition, the invention relates to methods for generating plants resistant to an abiotic or biotic factor, in particular to Xanthomonas euvesicatoria, and the plants themselves, in particular tomato plants.
