  • 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.

  • Method for obtaining the pathogenic resistance in plants
    Patent number: 8067668
    Abstract: The invention relates to methods for generating or increasing a pathogen resistance in plants by reducing the expression, activity or function of an NADPH oxidase.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 14, 2003
    Date of Patent: November 29, 2011

  • Nucleic acid sequences and their use in methods for achieving pathogen resistance in plants
    Patent number: 7456335
    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.

  • Method for increasing resistance against stress factors in plants
    Publication number: 20060064775
    Abstract: The invention relates to methods for generating or increasing the resistance, in plants, to at least one biotic or abiotic stress factor, preferably to plant pathogens, by increasing the expression of at least one Bax inhibitor 1 (BI1) protein in at least one plant tissue, with the proviso that the expression in the leaf epidermis remains essentially unchanged. The invention furthermore relates to recombinant expression cassettes and vectors which comprise a nucleic acid sequence coding for a BI protein under the control of a tissue-specific promoter, the promoter having essentially no activity in the leaf epidermis. The invention furthermore relates to recombinant plants transformed with said expression cassettes or vectors, to cultures, parts or recombinant propagation material derived from these plants, and to the use of same for the production of foodstuffs, feeding stuffs, seed, pharmaceuticals or fine chemicals.
