PATHOGEN-DERIVED EFFECTORS AND THEIR USE IN ENHANCING PLANT TRAITS

摘要

Method for producing transgenic plants that are resistant to at least one pathogen and one insect pest are provided. Plants expressing a pathogen-derived effector that are resistant to at least one pathogen, at least one insect pest, at freezing stress are provided. Genes and gene sequences comprising pathogen-derived effectors chosen as to not trigger the hypersensitive response and to be capable of enhancing gene silencing on a given plant are also provided, as well as plants, plant parts, plant cells, seeds, and non-human host cells expressing such genes.
