Abstract
The present disclosure relates, according to some embodiments, to pathogen resistant plants, compositions, organisms, systems, and methods. For example, a composition may comprise a heterologous peptide (e.g., a defensin peptide) and/or a nucleic acid (e.g., a defensin nucleic acid). A pathogen resistant plant may comprise, in some embodiments, a heterologous defensin peptide and/or an expressible nucleic acid encoding a heterologous defensin peptide.
Claims21
A citrus or potato plant comprising at least one heterologous Spinach oleracea defensin peptide comprising a first heterologous Spinach oleracea defensin peptide, wherein the amino acid sequence of the first heterologous Spinach oleracea defensin peptide is at least 95% identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 32, at least 95% identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 33, at least 95% identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 34, at least 95% identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 35, at least 95% identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 36, at least 95% identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 37, or at least 95% identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 38, and wherein the Spinach oleracea defensin peptide has anti-microbial activity against Xanthomonas axonopodis and Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus in the citrus or potato plant.
A citrus or potato plant comprising at least one heterologous Spinach oleracea defensin nucleic acid comprising a first heterologous Spinach oleracea defensin nucleic acid, wherein the nucleic acid sequence of the first heterologous Spinach oleracea defensin nucleic acid is at least 98% identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 46, at least 98% identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 47, at least 98% identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 48, at least 98% identical to SEQ ID NO:

- 54, at least 98% identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 55, at least 98% identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 56, at least 98% identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 57, or at least 98% identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 58, and wherein the Spinach oleracea defensin peptide has anti-microbial activity against Xanthomonas axonopodis and Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus in the citrus or potato plant.
A composition comprising at least one heterologous Spinach oleracea defensin peptide comprising a first heterologous Spinach oleracea defensin peptide, wherein the amino acid sequence of the first heterologous Spinach oleracea defensin peptide is at least 95% identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 32, at least 95% identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 33, at least 95% identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 34, at least 95% identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 35, at least 95% identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 36, at least 95% identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 37, or at least 95% identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 38, and wherein the Spinach oleracea defensin peptide has anti-microbial activity against Xanthomonas axonopodis and Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus in a citrus or potato plant.
