Abstract

The Applicant has identified a novel DON-responsive orphan gene (ENST1—SEQ ID NO: 1), and its promoter, which features DON-responsive elements, which can be used to drive the expression of FHB resistance genes. The Applicant has isolated two variants of the gene from wheat that share approximately 94% homology with ENST1. The Applicant has shown that this gene has homologs of >62% nucleotide sequence identity exist in Aegilops tauschii, Brachypodium distachyon, Festuca pratensis, Hordeum vulgare and Triticum aestivum.
