Artificial plant promoter activated by broad spectrum of xanthomonas

摘要

The present invention relates to synthetic promoter and a synthetic gene which confers broad-spectrum disease resistance to Xanthomonands in plants. The present invention also relates to transgenic plants containing the synthetic gene and plants derived by crossing plants with such transgenic plants. More specifically, the synthetic promoter is a synthetic Xa10 promoter and the synthetic gene is a synthetic Xa10 gene which contains the synthetic Xa10 promoter. The resistance is resistance to bacterial blight and the plants are rice plants.
