The present invention relates to a plant, which is resistant to a pathogen
of viral, bacterial, fungal or oomycete origin, wherein the plant has a
reduced level, reduced activity or complete absence of DMR6 protein as
compared to a plant that is not resistant to the said pathogen, in
particular organisms of the Fungi or the phylum Oomycota. The invention
further relates to method for obtaining a plant, which is resistant to a
pathogen of viral, bacterial, fungal or oomycete origin, comprising
reducing the endogenous level or activity of DMR6 protein in the plant.
In addition, the invention relates to the use of a DMR6 promotor for
providing disease resistant plants.
