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.
L'invention porte sur la résistance aux agents pathogènes. L'invention concerne en particulier des séquences polynucléotidiques et polypeptidiques intervenant dans le mécanisme de résistance des bananiers à des agents pathogènes fongiques, notamment aux champignons du sol Fusarium. Deux gènes de résistance de la banane, RGA5 et RGA2, sont isolés et caractérisés. L'invention concerne également l'utilisation desdites séquences pour moduler la résistance des plantes et produire des plantes génétiquement modifiées possédant des caractéristiques de résistance aux agents pathogènes modifiées.
