Patent number: 11845947Abstract: The present invention provides an improved Helminthosporium turcicum-resistant plant, in particular a maize plant which comprises a polynucleotide with one or more resistance-conferring genes, for example on a truncated chromosome fragment from the accession Pepitilla, as well as a cell, a tissue, a part, grain and seeds thereof, an isolated polynucleotide which comprises one or more resistance-conferring genes against Helminthosporium turcicum, a vector, a transgenic plant cell and a transgenic plant containing this polynucleotide. Furthermore, the invention encompasses suitable markers and their use in introducing resistance or the transgene into a plant, as well as the identification of improved maize plants which comprise a truncated chromosome fragment.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2020Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignees: KWS SAAT SE & CO. KGAA, UNIVERSITÄT ZÜRICHInventors: Milena Ouzunova, Daniela Scheuermann, Beat Keller, Simon Krattinger, Thomas Wicker, Gerhard Herren, Severine Hurni, Bettina Kessel, Thomas Presterl, Carsten Knaak

Publication number: 20230021982Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for producing plants with increased fungal resistance, preferably seedling resistance against Northern Corn Leaf Blight. Further provided are methods for introducing, modifying, or modulating at least one wall-associated kinase (WAK) in(to) a plant cell, tissue, organ, or whole plant and thereby causing a reduced synthesis of benzoxazinoid and in turn increased fungal resistance. There are further provided methods to identify and/or modify downstream effector molecules in a WAK signalling cascade. Finally, plant cells, tissues, organs or whole plants having increased fungal resistance and methods using substances to activate signalling pathways in a targeted way are provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2022Publication date: January 26, 2023Applicants: KWS SAAT SE & Co. KGaA, UNIVERSITY OF ZURICH, UNIVERSITY OF BERNInventors: Bettina KESSEL, Milena OUZUNOVA, Daniela SCHEUERMANN, Beat KELLER, Simon KRATTINGER, Coraline PRAZ, Ping YANG, Matthias ERB
