Abstract
Provided herein is a plant comprising an exogenous polynucleotide encoding a JIM2 polypeptide. In some embodiments, the plants have enhanced resistance to at least one species of Xanthomonas.
Claims13
A tomato plant comprising:
- an exogenous polynucleotide encoding a JIM2 polypeptide that is at least 90% identical to the Nicotiana benthamiana JIM2 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or the Solanum pennellii JIM2 of SEQ ID NO:
- 2;
- and
- exogenous polynucleotide encoding a ZAR1 polypeptide that is at least 90% identical to the Nicotiana benthamiana ZAR1 of SEQ ID NO:
- 3 or the Solanum pennellii ZAR1 polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:
- 4,
- wherein the plant has enhanced resistance to Xanthomonas perforans, relative to a control plant that is otherwise identical to the plant but does not contain the exogenous polynucleotides.
5 more elements
A method for enhancing the resistance of a tomato plant to at least one species of Xanthomonas, comprising:
- (a) introducing:
- (i) an exogenous polynucleotide encoding a JIM2 polypeptide that is at least 90% identical to the Nicotiana benthamiana JIM2 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or the Solanum pennellii JIM2 of SEQ ID NO:
- 2;
- and
- (ii) an exogenous polynucleotide encoding a ZAR1 polypeptide that is at least 90% identical to the Nicotiana benthamiana ZAR1 of SEQ ID NO:
- 3 or the Solanum pennellii ZAR1 polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:
- 4;
- into a tomato cell;
- and
- (b) regenerating a transgenic tomato plant from the tomato plant cell.
8 more elements
A method for enhancing the resistance of a potato plant to at least one species of Ralstonia, comprising:
- (a) introducing an exogenous polynucleotide encoding a JIM2 polypeptide that is at least 90% identical to the Nicotiana benthamiana JIM2 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or the Solanum pennellii JIM2 of SEQ ID NO:
- 2 into a potato cell;
- and
- (b) regenerating a transgenic potato plant from the potato plant cell;
- and
- (c) selecting said transgenic potato plant or a progeny of the same that contains the exogenous polynucleotide for resistance to Ralstonia.
