  • ACTIVATION OF PATTERN-TRIGGERED IMMUNITY IN PLANTS BY LIPOOLIGOSACCHARID-SPECIFIC REDUCED ELICITATION (LORE) AND VARIANTS THEREOF
    Publication number: 20210247400
    Abstract: Presented herein, in part, are novel small compounds and uses thereof to analyze expression of LipoOligosaccharid-Specific Reduced Elicitation (LORE) polypeptides in plants and/or methods of inducing pattern-trigger immunity (PTI) in plants. Also presented herein are screening methods for identifying functional variants of LORE capable of activating pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) in a plant.

  • NOVEL NUCLEIC ACID SEQUENCES AND THEIR USE IN METHODS FOR ACHIEVING PATHOGEN RESISTANCE IN PLANTS
    Publication number: 20090165173
    Abstract: The invention relates to novel RacB cDNA sequences from barley and to expression cassettes and vectors comprising these promoter sequences. The invention furthermore relates to transgenic plants transformed with these expression cassettes or vectors, to cultures, parts or transgenic propagation material derived from them, and to their use for the production of foodstuffs, feeding stuffs, seed, pharmaceuticals or fine chemicals. The invention furthermore relates to methods of generating or increasing a pathogen resistance in plants by reducing the expression of an RacB protein or of a functional equivalent thereof.
