PEARLI1 - LIKE PATHOGEN CONTROL GENES AND METHODS OF USE IN PLANTS

摘要

The invention provides pEARLI1-like polynucleotides which are capable of conferring increased nematode resistance to a plant. Also provided are inhib itory polynucleotides based on pEARLI1-like genes, which are capable of conf erring resistance to necrotrophic fungi to plants. Specifically, the inventi on relates to transgenic plants, transgenic seeds, and expression vectors ba sed on polynucleotides encoding pEARLI1-like genes, and methods of use there of.
