Fuente: WIPO "tomato"
The present invention relates to a plant that is resistant to downy mildew having enhanced root hair formation and to a combination of genes comprised of a mutated root hair gene and a mutant DMR6 gene for providing a downy mildew resistant plant. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for providing a plant that is resistant to downy mildew, mutating DMR6 and root hair gene(s), and use of one or more mutated root hair gene sequence(s), or the cDNA sequence(s) thereof, for providing an agronomically improved plant.
