Abstract
The present invention relates to plants that have been transformed so as to have both disease resistance and acceptable agronomic traits. More specifically, the present invention relates to transgenic plants that have acquired disease resistance through expression in the plants of a polynucleotide encoding the transcription factor WRKY45 in an infection-responsive manner, and methods for generating the transgenic plants.
Claims28
A transgenic plant comprising a functional WRKY45 gene, wherein the WRKY45 gene is operably linked to an infection-responsive promoter and a translational enhancer.
An isolated nucleic acid construct comprising a functional WRKY45 gene, wherein the WRKY45 gene is operably linked to an infection-responsive promoter and a translational enhancer.
A method for producing a gene product in a plant in an infection-inducible manner, comprising:
- providing a plant comprising a gene of interest operably linked to a GST gene promoter,
- wherein the GST gene promoter directs transcription of a gene of interest upon infection to produce the gene product.
