Abstract
The present invention provides a DNA sequence encoding an oxalate oxidase. The oxalate oxidase may be used for the resistance of plants to diseases caused by Sclerotinia sp. It may be provided by a chimeric gene and a vector containing the coding sequence. It may be used to confer on plants an increased resistance to diseases caused by Sclerotinia sp.
