  • Flagellin-sensing 3 (‘FLS3’) protein and methods of use
    Patent number: 10557145
    Abstract: One aspect of the present invention relates to a nucleic acid construct that includes a nucleic acid molecule that encodes FLAGELLIN-SENSING 3 (“FLS3”) protein; a 5? heterologous DNA promoter sequence; and a 3? terminator sequence, where the nucleic acid molecule, the DNA promoter sequence, and the terminator sequence are operatively coupled to permit transcription of the nucleic acid molecule. The present invention also relates to a method of imparting disease resistance to a plant. This method involves transforming a plant or a plant seed with a nucleic acid molecule that increases expression of an FLS3 protein, where said transforming is effective in imparting disease resistance to the transformed plant or to a transgenic plant produced from the transformed plant seed.
