Basic Genetic Modification

Gene Introduced Gene Source Product Function
R-genes Solanum venturii Rpi-vnt1, Rpi-amr1, and Rpi-amr Part of a plant defense mechanism called effector triggered immunity. These proteins recognize pathogen-secreted effector proteins and activate the plant hypersensitive response (HR).
Rladg controls resistance to the infection and to PLRV accumulation
Rysto Solanum stoloniferum Rysto immune receptor confers extreme resistance to PVY in potato preventing viral replication without triggering cell death
