Abstract:
This invention describes a method to induce pathogen resistance in plants, characterized in that plants are transformed with an expression cassette harboring a gene coding for an isochorismate synthase. More specifically, this method is characterized in that the gene coding for isochorismate synthase is selected from a group consisting of entC, orfA, pchA and ICS, this last gene preferably the ICS gene from Catharantus roseus. Another embodiment of the invention is a method according to the method described above, characterized in that plants are additionally transformed with an expression cassette harboring a gene coding for an isochorismate pyruvate lyase, preferably on the same expression cassette as the gene coding for isochorismate synthase. The gene coding for isochorismate pyruvate lyase is preferably selected from the group consisting of orfD and pchB. A further aspect of the invention is a protein having isochorismate synthase activity which is isolated from Catharantus roseus. Still a further aspect of the invention is the nucleotide sequence comprising the 5' regulatory region which is naturally found to regulate the expression of the ICS gene in Catharantus roseus.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an isolated protein obtainable from a plant source which has antifungal activity, specifically anti-Phytophthora activity and/or anti-Pythium activity and a molecular weight of about 55-65 kDa as judged by SDS PAGE-electrophoresis, an isolated DNA sequence comprising an open reading frame capable of encoding a protein according to the invention, preferably characterised in that it comprises an open reading frame which is capable of encoding a protein depicted in SEQ ID NO. 16, SEQ ID NO. 57, SEQ ID NO. 70, SEQ ID NO. 72 or SEQ ID NO. 74 or muteins thereof, and DNA capable of hybridising therewith under stringent conditions. The invention further comprises plants incorporating chimeric DNA capable of encoding a protein according to the invention, and wherein the protein is expressed. Also shown is the carbohydrate and preferably hexose oxidating activity of said protein. Also methods are provided for combating fungi, especially Phytophthora and Pythium species, using a protein or a host cell capable of producing the protein.
Abstract:
The present invention is in the field of plant molecular biology and provides methods for production of high expressing constitutive promoters and the production of plants with enhanced constitutive expression of nucleic acids wherein nucleic acid expression enhancing nucleic acids (NEENAs) are functionally linked to said promoters and/or introduced into plants.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for controlling pests or increasing the plant health in a cultivated plant comprising the application of an oomycetes fungicide to the plant with at least one modification, parts of such plants, plant propagation materials, or at their locus of growth.
