  • Fungus-responsive chimeric gene
    Patent number: 5994527
    Abstract: A method for isolating a fungus-responsive promoter comprising the steps of:(i) identifying a promoter sequence in the genomic DNA of a plant using a promoter-effective portion of the promoter of the gene of SEQ ID No. 1 as a hybridization probe, and(ii) isolating said fungus-responsive promoter.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 14, 1997
    Date of Patent: November 30, 1999
    Assignee: Max-Planck-Gesellschaft zur Forderung der Wissenschaften E.V.
    Inventors: Gunter Strittmatter, Norbert Martini
  • Chimeric genes comprising a fungus-responsive element
    Patent number: 5910629
    Abstract: The present invention provides improved fungus-responsive chimeric genes for the production of transgenic plants which have plant cells surrounding the site of fungal infection that become capable of killing, disabling or repelling the fungus or that are themselves killed or rendered unsuitable for the fungus to feed upon, thereby preventing the spread of the fungus infection.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 6, 1997
    Date of Patent: June 8, 1999

    Inventor: Gunter Strittmatter
  • Fungus-responsive chimaeric gene
    Patent number: 5859332
    Abstract: Fungus-responsive chimaeric genes are used in the production of transgenic plants which can produce plant cells surrounding the fungus infection that become capable of killing, disabling or repelling the fungus or that are themselves killed or rendered unsuitable for the fungus to feed upon, thereby preventing the spread of the fungus infection.
