Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of increasing resistance against fungal pathogens of the family Phacosporaceae in transgenic plants and/or plant cells. In these plants, the ethylene signaling pathway and/or activity of the ethylene signaling compounds is changed. This is achieved by priming the ethylene signaling pathway in these plants in comparison to wild type plants and/or wild type plant cells. Depending on the activating or inhibitory function of a particular signaling compound overexpression or knock-down of the cognate gene might be used.
