Abstract
The nucleic acid and amino acid sequences for proteinaceous elicitors of the plant defense reaction known as the hypersensitive response against Pseudomonas syringae are described along with method for preparation.
Claims30
An isolated gene encoding a Pseudomonas syringae protein capable of eliciting a hypersensitive response when said protein is introduced into tissue of a plant with which a Pseudomonas syringae pathogen is incompatible, under normal plant growth condictions, wherein the hypersensitive response is characterized by localized cell death in the plant tissue where the protein is introduced, the protein is glycine rich, lacks cysteine, is heat stable, lacks amino-terminal signal peptides, and is hydrophilic.
An expression system containing the gene according to claim,1.
An isolated nucleic acid having the nucleotide seqeunce of SEQ ID NO:3.
Escherichia coli DH5.alpha.(pSYH10) which is ATCC deposit no. 69317.
