The present invention relates to new caffeoyl-CoA 3-O-methyltransferase genes isolated from parsley and their use for the transformation of vectors, host organisms and plants.

Caffeoyl-coa 3-O-Methyltransferase genes from parsley

New genes for pinosylvine synthase ('pinosylvine synthase genes') have been found, which can be incorporated into the hereditary factors (the genome) of plants that generate no pinosylvine or only inadequate pinosylvine, whereby an increased resistance of these plants to pests can be brought about. Also disclosed are vectors, host organisms, and plants transformed with the new pinosylvine synthase genes.

Pinosylvine synthase genes

Deoxyribonucleic acid coding for glutathione-S-transferase and its use

The present invention relates to the gene for stilbene synthase, isolated from plants, and its use for the transformation of vectors, host organisms and plants, as well as to the production of plants which have an increased resistance to pests.

Stilbene synthase genes for grapevine

The present invention relates to new caffeoyl-CoA 3-O-methyltransferase genes isolated from plants and their use for the transformation of vectors, host organisms and plants and for the generation of plants which have an increased resistance to pests.
