The present invention relates to a transgenic plant which integrated into its genome an exogenous polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide which confers resistance to one or more races off. sp., such as the Ug99 group of racesf. sp.

Stem rust resistance gene

Compositions and methods and for enhancing the resistance of wheat plants to wheat stem rust caused byf. sp.are provided. The compositions comprise nucleic acid molecules encoding resistance (R) gene products and variants thereof and plants, seeds, and plant cells comprising such nucleic acid molecules. The methods for enhancing the resistance of a wheat plant to wheat stem rust comprise introducing a nucleic acid molecule encoding an R gene product into a wheat plant cell. Additionally provided are methods for using the wheat plants in agriculture to limit wheat stem rust.

Wheat stem rust resistance genes and methods of use

The present invention relates to a transgenic plant which has integrated into its genome an exogenous polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide which confers resistance tof. sp., such as the Ug99 group of racesf. sp.. In an embodiment, the polynucleotide is the Sr33 gene from
