The present invention relates to plants with a resistance gene to . The invention also relates to a method for providing a plant with a resistance to , comprising of (a) providing a first plant, which plant comprises a resistance gene to ; (b) crossing the resistant plant with a susceptible second plant; (c) isolating from the progeny genomic DNA for detecting the presence of an introgression with the resistance gene using one or more specific DNA markers linked to the resistance gene; and (d) selecting from the progeny a plant in which the presence of the introgression with the resistance gene has been demonstrated in step (c).
