  • Banana resistance genes and uses thereof
    Patent number: 7601887
    Abstract: The present invention relates to two banana resistant genes, RGA5 and RGA2, and methods of producing transgenic plants having resistance to fusarium by transforming the plants with RGA5 or RGA2 polynucleotide sequences. The invention also relates to plants transformed with the RGA5 or RGA2 polynucleotide sequences, and methods of breeding plants for fusarium resistance by crossing transformed plants expressing RGA5 or RGA2 polypeptides with fusarium susceptible plants.
    Type: Grant

  • Banana Resistance Genes And Uses Thereof
    Publication number: 20070204368
    Abstract: The present invention relates to pathogenic resistance. More particularly the present invention relates to polynucleotide and polypeptide sequences involved in the resistance mechanism of banana plants to fungal pathogens particularly, the soil born Fusarium fungi. Two banana resistance genes, RGA5 and RGA2 are isolated and characterised. The invention also relates to the use of these sequences for modulating plant resistance and for producing genetically modified plants having modified pathogen resistance characteristics.
