Transgenic plant of the type beta vulgaris with increased resistance against Cercospora

The invention relates to a transgenic plant of the species Beta vulgaris, a nucleic acid has been stably integrated into its genome, in advance of transcribed in the plant, RNA, formed RNA can be received by this, in the case of an infestation of the plant with a fungus of the genus Cercospora, so that the cercosporin biosynthesis in the fungus is affected in such a way that the fungus is inhibited in its growth phase biotrophic and having the plant as compared to a control plant an increased resistance to the fungus.
