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

Patent Bhattacharyya, Madan K.; Sumit, Rishi; Sahu, Binod B.

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 amore » plant breeding program. « less

Alteration of plant meristem function by manipulation of the Retinoblastoma-like plant RRB gene

Patent Durfee, Tim [Madison, WI]; Feiler, Heidi [Albany, CA]; Gruissem, Wilhelm [Forch, CH]; ...

This invention provides methods and compositions for altering the growth, organization, and differentiation of plant tissues. The invention is based on the discovery that, in plants, genetically altering the levels of Retinoblastoma-related gene (RRB) activity produces dramatic effects on the growth, proliferation, organization, and differentiation of plant meristem.

Engineering disease resistance with pectate lyase-like genes

Patent Vogel, John; Somerville, Shauna

A mutant gene coding for pectate lyase and homologs thereof is provided, which when incorporated in transgenic plants effect an increased level disease resistance in such plants. Also is provided the polypeptide sequence for the pectate lyase of the present invention. Methods of obtaining the mutant gene, producing transgenic plants which include the nucleotide sequence for the mutant gene and producing improved disease resistance in a crop of such transgenic plants are also provided.

Key gene regulating plant cell wall recalcitrance

Patent Chen, Jay; Gunter, Lee E.; Jawdy, Sara; ...

This disclosure provides plants having desirable levels of lignin synthesis, sugar release, S/G ratio, and resistance to stress and pathogens; methods of selecting plants with such desirable levels of lignin synthesis, sugar release, S/G ratio, and resistance to stress and pathogens; methods of genetically modifying plants to modulate lignin synthesis, sugar release, S/G ratio, and resistance to stress and pathogens; and uses of such plants. The inventors have determined that the expression and/or activity of POPTR_0014s08530, a gene encoding an Angustifolia/CtBP transcription factor, modulates lignin synthesis, sugar release, S/G ratio, and resistance to stress and pathogens in plants.
