1. A nucleic acid construct comprising a nucleic acid sequence coding a peptide conferring resistance to Fusarium oxysporum race 4 when expressed in a banana plant, wherein said nucleic acid sequence is selected from the group consisting of a nucleic acid sequence having at least 97% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 9 and SEQ ID NO: 11 wherein nucleotide positions 148, 323, 344, and 347 of the nucleic acid sequence are G, A, C, and T, respectively, and wherein the nucleic acid sequence is operably linked to a promoter capable of driving expression of the nucleic acid sequence.
