The present invention relates to a method of conferring or increasing resistance against fungal pathogens in plants, plant parts, and/or plant cells. To this end the invention focuses on facilitating or increasing the production and/or accumulation of a Myb41-type transcription factor (Myb41), fragment or homolog thereof in a plant, plant part and/or plant cell compared to corresponding wild type plants, wild type plant parts and/or wild type plant cells. The invention also relates to plants, plant parts, and/or plant cells having an increased resistance against fungal pathogens and to material and methods to create or use such plants plant parts or to produce products therefrom.
