  • Polypeptide compounds and nucleotide sequences promoting resistance to eutypa dieback in plants
    Patent number: 6376212
    Abstract: The subject of the invention is a nucleotide sequence coding for an enzyme with eutypine reductase activity, capable of metabolizing the eutypine synthesized in plants by a fungus of the Eutypa lata or Libertella blepharis type. The overproduction of eutypine reductase by the plant hose of the fungus enables the consequences of the presence of this fungus in plants to be attenuated or even eradicated.
