Polynucleotides and methods for making plants resistant to fungal pathogens

The invention relates to polynucleotides and methods for making plants resistant to fungal pathogens. This invention relates to polynucleotide sequences encoding a gene that can confer resistance to the plant pathogen Colletotrichum, which causes anthracnose stalk rot, leaf blight and top dieback in corn and other cereals. It further relates to plants and seeds of plants carrying chimeric genes comprising said polynucleotide sequences, which enhance or confer resistance to the plant pathogen Colletotrichum, and processes of making said plants and seeds. The invention further presents sequences that can be used as molecular markers that in turn can be used to identify the region of interest in corn lines resulting from new crosses and to quickly and efficiently introgress the gene from corn lines carrying said gene into other corn lines that do not carry said gene, in order to make them resistant to Colletotrichum and resistant to stalk rot. 本发明涉及用于制备抗真菌病原体的植物的多核苷酸和方法。本发明涉及编码可以赋予对植物病原体毛盘孢属的抗性的基因的多核苷酸序列，所述毛盘孢属造
