Arabidopsis nonhost resistance gene(s) and use thereof to engineer disease resistant plants

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1531356
; ;

The present invention relates to a method of increasing resistance against plant pathogens, particularly Phytophthora and Fusarium virguliforme in transgenic plants and/or plant cells, through the use of non host resistance nucleic acid molecules isolated from Arabidopsis. In these plants, at least one nonhost Arabidopsis resistance protein is introduced in comparison to the wild-type plants to confer resistance to plant pathogens. The invention relates to transgenic plants and/or plant cells having an increased resistance against plant pathogens particularly Phytophthora and Fusarium virguliforme to expression vectors, transformed plants and plant cells as well as the use of such plants in a plant breeding program.
