Abstract
The present invention provides novel purified and isolated nucleic acid sequences associated with disease resistance and tolerance in plants. Methods of using the nucleic acid sequences to confer disease resistance and tolerance to plants are also provided.
Claims28
An isolated nucleic acid comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ. ID. No. 1.
An isolated nucleic acid comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ. ID. NO. 2.
An isolated nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence capable of hybridizing under high stringency conditions to SEQ. ID. NO. 1 or the complement of SEQ. ID. NO. 1.
A method for conferring disease resistance to a plant comprising introducing a nucleic acid comprising SEQ. ID. NO. 1 or SEQ. ID. NO. 2 into a plant.
A method for conferring disease resistance to a plant comprising introducing a nucleic acid encoding for COK-4, wherein the nucleic acid has one restriction site for a restriction enzyme selected from the group consisting of Kpn I, Mse I and Msp I.
