  • Patent number: 11920142
    Abstract: The use of a negative regulator AtRTP5 for increasing the plant resistance to Phytophthora is disclosed. The AtRTP5 gene negatively regulates the plant resistance to Phytophthora by interfering with a plant hormone immune signaling pathway.

The use of a protein encoded by a negative regulator AtRTP5 for increasing the plant resistance to Phytophthora is also disclosed. The plant resistance to Phytophthora is enhanced by reducing the expression of the protein encoded by the AtRTP5 gene with genetic engineering. The protein has an amino acid sequence shown as SEQ ID NO: 2 or a homologous sequence having more than 50% homology with the sequence.
