  • MODULAR DNA-BINDING DOMAINS AND METHODS OF USE
    Publication number: 20120110685
    Abstract: The present invention refers to methods for selectively recognizing a base pair in a DNA sequence by a polypeptide, to modified polypeptides which specifically recognize one or more base pairs in a DNA sequence and, to DNA which is modified so that it can be specifically recognized by a polypeptide and to uses of the polypeptide and DNA in specific DNA targeting as well as to methods of modulating expression of target genes in a cell.
    Type: Application

  • PATHOGEN-INDUCIBLE PROMOTERS AND THEIR USE IN ENHANCING THE DISEASE RESISTANCE OF PLANTS
    Publication number: 20100132069
    Abstract: Methods for producing pathogen-inducible promoters for the expression of genes in plants are provided. The pathogen-inducible promoters are inducible by one, two, three, or more plant pathogens. Methods for producing R genes that are inducible in a plant by more than one plant pathogen are further provided.

  • BS3 RESISTANCE GENE AND METHODS OF USE
    Publication number: 20090133158
    Abstract: Isolated nucleic acid molecules that confer resistance to the plant pathogen Xanthomonas campestris are provided. These molecules may be introduced into plants that are otherwise susceptible to infection by this bacterium in order to enhance the resistance of the plant to this plant pathogen. Additionally provided are isolated polypeptides and isolated nucleic acid molecules comprising plant promoters. Methods of using the nucleic acid molecules to increase the resistance of plants to pathogens and to express genes of interest in plants are provided.
