Methods And Compositions For Peronospora Resistance In Spinach
Patent No. EP3054766 (titled "Methods And Compositions For Peronospora Resistance In Spinach") was filed by Seminis Vegetable Seeds on Oct 8, 2014. The application was issued on Jun 18, 2025.
Patent Summary
A *Spinacia oleracea* spinach plant comprises a genome with an introgressed locus from *Spinacia tetrandra* that confers resistance to *Peronospora farinosa* f. sp. *spinaciae* (Pfs), specifically including resistance to at least race 12. The introgressed locus is defined by being flanked in the *S. tetrandra* genome by sequences with at least 99% identity to SEQ ID NOs: 1 and 2. A representative sample of seed containing this locus has been deposited under Accession No. PTA-120533 or PTA-120534. The invention provides broad-spectrum resistance to downy mildew, overcoming the limitations of race-specific resistance typically found in cultivated spinach or *S. turkestanica* and allowing for introgression into desired genomic backgrounds via marker-assisted selection.
