Abstract

A more efficient breeding against Cercospora leaf spot disease, or the development of new resistant lines, is enabled via the provision of the Cercospora resistance-mediating gene according to the invention; in particular, a dominant resistance effect in the target plant is evoked by the property of the identified gene alone. The Cercospora resistance-mediating gene, and embodiments of the present invention that are described in the preceding, offer additional applications, e.g., the use of the resistant gene allele in cis-genetic or trans-genetic approaches, with the goal of developing new resistant cultivars.
