  • GmPAP2.1 gene from controlling plant disease resistance against soybean mosaic virus and uses thereof
    Patent number: 11566261
    Abstract: A method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is for enhancing disease resistance of a plant against Soybean mosaic virus compared to a non-transformant. The method may include transforming a plant cell of the plant with a recombinant vector containing a gene encoding Glycine max purple acid phosphatase 2.1 (GmPAP2.1) protein from Glycine max to overexpress the gene encoding GmPAP2.1 protein. As the GmPAP2.1 gene from Glycine max of the present invention can modulate disease resistance against Soybean mosaic virus, it is expected to be applied for development of new cultivars with enhanced resistance to Soybean mosaic virus to thereby increase soybean productivity.
