| 摘要 |
<p>The present invention relates generally to genetic sequences which are useful in the diagnosis and treatment of fungal infections in plants which involve a susceptible interaction between a fungal pathogen and the host plant. In particular, the present invention provides genetic sequences which confer, activate, or enhance expression of a gene in a plant, in response to infection of said plant by a plant fungal pathogen in a susceptible interaction. The invention further provides genetic sequences such as structural genes, the expression of which is induced in response to a susceptible interaction between a plant and a fungal pathogen. The present invention further provides methods for the detection of infection by a fungal pathogen in a susceptible interaction and for the production of transgenic plants with improved resistance to said fungal pathogen. Transgenic plant material which expresses an artificial resistance gene against a fungal pathogen is also within the scope of the invention claimed.</p> |
