  • Cultivar specificity gene from the rice pathogen Magnaporthe grisea, and methods of use
    Patent number: 6794176
    Abstract: This invention provides a novel avirulence gene from the rice blast pathogen, Magnaporthe grisea. The gene, AVR1-CO39, confers cultivar-specific avirulence to strains of M. grisea that carry the gene. Also disclosed are methods of using the gene and its encoded products for improving resistance of rice to the rice blast pathogen.

  • Plant genes that confer resistance to strains of Magnaporthe grisea having AVR CO39 cultivar specificity gene
    Publication number: 20040083501
    Abstract: Plant pathogen resistance gene (s) present in rice cultivar CO39 and other plant species is disclosed. The locus is referred to as Pi-CO39(t) and confers resistance to strains of the plant pathogen, Magnaporthe grisea (causal agent of rice blast and other plant diseases), having a corresponding AVR1 CO39 avirulence gene. Also disclosed are methods of using the resistance gene and its encoded products for improving resistance of plants to this pathogen.
    Type: Application
