Use Of Bacterial Acetate Kinase And Their Genes For Protection Of Plants Against Different Pathogens, Arthur G. Hunt, Glenn B. Collins, Qingshun Li, Santanu Dasgupta Nov 2002

Use Of Bacterial Acetate Kinase And Their Genes For Protection Of Plants Against Different Pathogens, Arthur G. Hunt, Glenn B. Collins, Qingshun Li, Santanu Dasgupta

Kentucky Tobacco Research and Development Center Faculty Patents

An isolated gene fragment that encodes for acetate kinase, which confers disease resistance in plants is disclosed. The gene can be cloned into an expression vector to produce a recombinant DNA expression system suitable for insertion into cells to form a transgenic plant transformed with the gene fragment. A method for conferring disease resistance in plants that consists of growing plant host cells transformed with the expression system and expressing the gene conferring disease resistance to impart such resistance to host cells is also disclosed.


Use Of The Full Length Transcript (Flt) From Mirabilis Mosaic Caulimovirus To Express Chimeric Genes In Plants, Indu B. Maiti, Nrisingha Dey, Robert J. Shepherd Jul 2002

Use Of The Full Length Transcript (Flt) From Mirabilis Mosaic Caulimovirus To Express Chimeric Genes In Plants, Indu B. Maiti, Nrisingha Dey, Robert J. Shepherd

Kentucky Tobacco Research and Development Center Faculty Patents

A full-length transcript promoter from mirabilis mosaic caulimovirus (MMV) is identified and its DNA sequence given. The promoter functions as a strong and uniform promoter for chimeric genes inserted into plant cells. This strong promoter function is exhibited by histochemical assay in seeds and floral organs and by reproductive scores of transgenic plants including the promoter. The promoter preferably includes a 3′ untranslated region that may be from the MMV itself or from a heterologous source with respect to the promoter. The promoter is used in a chimeric gene and in methods for transforming plant cells to obtain transgenic plants, …

Use Of Hrma Proteins And Their Genes For Broad Range Protection Of Plants Against Bacterial, Fungal And Viral Pathogens, Qingshun Li, Songhai Shen, Arthur G. Hunt Jan 2002

Use Of Hrma Proteins And Their Genes For Broad Range Protection Of Plants Against Bacterial, Fungal And Viral Pathogens, Qingshun Li, Songhai Shen, Arthur G. Hunt

Kentucky Tobacco Research and Development Center Faculty Patents

The use of an avr gene hrmA to induce systematic acquired resistance in plant cells, plant seeds, plant tissues and plants is disclosed. Also disclosed is the use of low level expression of promoters in combination with the hrmA gene to provide broad-spectrum pathogen resistance in plant cells, plant seeds, plant tissues and plants.
