Claims34
A nucleic acid sequence that encodes a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:4, SEQ ID NO:10, and SEQ ID NO:11.
An isolated DNA molecule which is or is complementary to a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of:
- a) the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 which encodes a protein comprising SEQ ID NO:4;
- b) nucleotide sequences which through degeneracy of the genetic code encode the peptide encoded by the nucleotide sequence of a);
- and
- c) nucleotide sequences that hybridize to any of a) or b) under conditions of high stringency.
An isolated DNA molecule which is or is complementary to a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of:
- a) the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:5 which encodes a protein comprising SES ID NO:10;
- b) nucleotide sequences which through degeneracy of the genetic code encode the protein encoded by the nucleotide sequence of a);
- and
- c) nucleotide sequences that hybridize to any of a) or b) under conditions of high stringency.
An isolated DNA molecule which is or is complementary to a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of:
- a) the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:6 which encodes a protein comprising SEQ ID NO:11;
- b) nucleotide sequences which through degeneracy of the genetic code encode the protein encoded by the nucleotide sequence of a);
- and
- c) nucleotide sequences that hybridize to any of a) or b) under conditions of high stringency.
A DNA sequence that encodes an acquired resistance polypeptide that includes a contiguous amino acid sequence of at least 15 amino acids selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:4, SEQ ID NO:10, and SEQ ID NO:11.
An isolated nucleic acid sequence which is or is complementary to a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of:
- a) the nucleotide sequence of any of SEQ ID NO:1-2 or SEQ ID NO:5-8;
- b) nucleotide sequences which by virtue of the degeneracy of the genetic code encode the protein encoded by the single contiguous ORF contained in any of SEQ ID NO:4 or SEQ ID NO:10-11;
- and
- c) nucleotide sequences that hybridize to any of SEQ ID NO:2-3 or SEQ ID NO:5-8 under conditions of high stringency.
A transgenic plant having incorporated into its genome a transgene that encodes the acquired resistance polypeptide as set forth in SEQ ID NO:4.
A transgenic plant having incorporated into its genome a transgene that encodes the acquired resistance polypeptide as set forth in SEQ ID NO:10.
A transgenic plant having incorporated into its genome a transgene that encodes the acquired resistance polypeptide as set forth in SEQ ID NO:11.
A method of controlling plant pathogens, comprising providing to a plant a nucleic acid sequence that encodes a polypeptide selected from the group consisting of the amino acid of SEQ ID NO:4, SEQ ID NO:10 and SEQ ID NO:11, wherein said amino acid sequence is produced in sufficient amount to enhance acquired resistance in said plant.
A method of controlling plant pathogens, comprising providing to a plant an acquired resistance polypeptide selected from the group of amino acid sequences as set forth in SEQ ID No:
- 4, SEQ ID NO:10 and SEQ NO:11, wherein said polypeptide is produced in sufficient amount to enhance acquired resistance of said plant.
