  • Cloning and exploitation of a functional R-gene from Solanum x edinense
    Patent number: 9856494
    Abstract: The invention relates to a new resistance gene, Rpi-edn2 and functional homologues or functional fragments thereof isolated from S. x edinense. Moreover, the invention relates to the use of said resistance gene, for example the use of said resistance gene in a method to increase or confer at least partial resistance in a plant to an oomycete infection. The invention provides an isolated or recombinant nucleic acid sequence comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding one of the amino acid sequences of FIG. 4 or a functional fragment or a functional homologue thereof.
    Type: Grant

  • Potatoes with increased protein content
    Patent number: 7880067
    Abstract: The invention relates to the breeding and selection of potatoes. The invention provides a potato plant or part derived thereof having at least one amf-allele said potato plant or part further provided with an increased capacity to store a protein as characterized by an increased protein content of its tubers. Furthermore, the invention provides a method for breeding and selecting a potato with an increased capacity to store a protein comprising crossing a first parent potato with at least one amf-allele with a second parent potato without an amf-allele, and selecting progeny for the presence of at least one amf-allele with a protein content of its tubers higher than detected in said first parent or said second parent.

  • USE OF R-GENES AS A SELECTION MARKER IN PLANT TRANSFORMATION AND USE OF CISGENES IN PLANT TRANSFORMATION
    Publication number: 20100146662
    Abstract: The invention relates to the field of plant transformation, in particular plant transformation of a Solanaceae, preferably of potato. The present invention provides an alternative selection method in plant transformation processes. The invention further provides a plant that has been provided with additional nucleic acid sequences but which genetically modified plant essentially consists of cis plant sequences, for example a genetically modified potato plant that has been provided with additional (essentially) potato plant sequences. Such a transgenic plant is free from non-Solanum T-DNA border sequences. A preferred embodiment is a potato plant that carries a functional R-gene, providing resistance against an oomycete pathogen, preferably Phytophthora infestans, wherein said R-gene can be used as selectable marker.
