Abstract

The present invention relates to methods for producing plants with increased fungal resistance, preferably seedling resistance against Northern Corn Leaf Blight. Further provided are methods for introducing, modifying, or modulating at least one wall-associated kinase (WAK) in(to) a plant cell, tissue, organ, or whole plant and thereby causing a reduced synthesis of benzoxazinoid and in turn increased fungal resistance. There are further provided methods to identify and/or modify downstream effector molecules in a WAK signalling cascade. Finally, plant cells, tissues, organs or whole plants having increased fungal resistance and methods using substances to activate signalling pathways in a targeted way are provided. The present invention thus relates to WAKs as master regulators and crucial signaling mediators in plant defense against fungal disease and the regulation and cross-talk mechanisms in the WAK signaling cascade and further gives examples for establishing novel anti- fungal strategies relevant for a series of crop plants.

Abstract

The invention relates to methods and hybrids for the targeted modification of a nucleic acid-target region in a plant target structure. The invention specifically relates to methods and hybrids for directly obtaining a plant or plant material which comprises an editing of a nucleic acid introduced in a targeted manner into a meristematic cell. The hybrids can be introduced in a transient and/or stable manner. The invention also relates to novel plant-optimized introduction strategies. The invention further relates to a method for carrying out an in vitro screening assay in order to check the suitable gRNA candidates first in vitro with respect to their efficiency.

Abstract

The present invention provides an improved HeIrnonthosporium lumicurn- resistant plant, in particular a maize plant wtkich comprises a polynucleotide with one Of more resistance- conferring genes, for example on a truncated chromosome fragment from the accession Pepltilla, as well as a cell, a tissue, a pan, grain and seeds thereof, an isolated polynucteotide which compnses orie or more resistance-conferring genes against Haiminthosporium turcicum, a vector, a transgenic plant cell and a transgenic plant containing this potynucleohde. Furthermore, the irwention encompasses suitable markers and their use in introducing resistance or the transgene into a plant. as well as the identification of improved maize plants which comprise a truncated chromosome fragment

Abstract

The invention relates to the use of an ensiling agent comprising an acidifying formate for the treatment of unchopped beets. In addition, the invention relates to methods for sugar and ethanol production from sugar beets. By using the ensiling agent, sugar degradation can be significantly reduced in sugar beets during storage.
