ENGINEERING HEAT-STABLE DISEASE RESISTANCE IN PLANTS

摘要

Disclosed are nucleic acid molecules which encode heat-stable plant resistance polypeptides having NB-LRR structural motifs, where the LRR domain includes a sub-domain which confers heat-stability to a plant defense response. The invention further involves transgenic plants and transformed host cells that express these nucleic acid molecules and exhibit enhanced disease resistance over a wide range of temperatures.
