  • Method for production of transgenic plants with increased pathogenic resistance by altering the content and/or activity of actin-depolymerising factors
    Patent number: 7928289
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for production of transgenic plants and/or plant cells with increased pathogenic resistance, whereby the transgenic plants or plant cells have an altered content or an altered activity of at least one actin-depolymerising factor (ADF) with relation to the wild type. The invention also relates to the use of nucleic acids, coding for at least one ADF, for the production of transgenic plants or plant cells with increased pathogenic resistance and, furthermore, nucleic acid sequences coding for an ADF.
    Type: Grant

  • Promoter for the Epidermis-Specific Transgenic Expression in Plants
    Publication number: 20070300328
    Abstract: The invention relates to promoter regions under the control of which transgenes can be expressed in plants in an epidermis-specific manner. The invention also relates to recombinant nucleic acid molecules including said promoters, to transgenic plants and plant cells transformed with these nucleic acid molecules, and to methods for producing the same. The invention further relates to nucleic acid molecules including a promoter according to the invention and to nucleic acid sequences or transgenes mediating pathogen resistance, to plants and plant cells transformed with these nucleic acid molecules and to methods for producing the same.
