Abstract
A R8 phytophthora resistance gene from potato is described that produces a protein capable of inferring oomycete resistance, such as resistance to Phytophthora infestans when expressed in a plant. Also described is a method for providing at least partial resistance or increasing resistance in a plant against an oomycete infection comprising providing a plant or a part thereof with a nucleotide sequence of this gene or a functional fragment thereof, for example wherein said plant is a plant from the Solanaceae family, more preferably Solanum tuberosum.
