  • Plants having increased resistance to pathogens and method for producing said plants
    Patent number: 10590432
    Abstract: The invention relates to a plant having increased resistance to pathogens, wherein the protein SOBIR1 from Arabidopsis thaliana or a homologous protein, which is capable of interacting with at least one of the PRR receptor proteins RLP30 or RLP1, and at least one of the PRR receptor proteins RLP30 or RLP1 are overexpressed in comparison with the wild-type plant or are newly synthesized. The pathogens are preferably fungi, in particular from the genus Sclerotinia, and bacteria, in particular from the genus Xanthomonas. The invention further relates to a method for producing a plant having increased resistance to pathogens.

  • Novel Immunogenic Fungal Extract and Pattern Recognition Receptor In Plants
    Publication number: 20150223471
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a purified fungal extract (SsE1) that elicits immune responses in plants and the identification of the plant receptor AtRLP30 which mediates the recognition of SsE1. Further provided are methods for the production of the extract SsE1, and the use of the SsE1 and AtRLP30 in plants in order to modulate the plants immune response, in particular against fungal infections with Sclerotinia spp. or Botrytis spp.
