Patent number: 7189892Abstract: The present invention provides a polynucleotide sequence encoding a component of the protein machinery involved in small RNA trafficking, Cucurbita maxima phloem small RNA-binding protein (CmPSRB 1), and the corresponding polypeptide sequence. The invention also provides genetic constructs and transgenic plants comprising the polynucleotide sequence encoding a phloem small RNA-binding protein to alter (e.g., prevent, reduce or elevate) non-cell autonomous signaling events in the plants involving small RNA metabolism. These signaling events are involved in a broad spectrum of plant physiological and biochemical processes, including, for example, systemic resistance to pathogens, responses to environmental stresses, e.g., heat, drought, salinity, and systemic gene silencing (e.g., viral infections).Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2004Date of Patent: March 13, 2007Assignees: The Regents of the University of California, Agrigenesis Biosciences LimitedInventors: William J. Lucas, Byung-Chun Yoo, Tony J. Lough, Erika Varkonyi-Gasic
