POLYNUCLEOTIDES ENCODING DEFENSE RESPONSE PROTEINS

摘要

This invention relates to isolated nucleic acid fragments encondign defense response proteins. The invention also relates to the construction of chimeric genes enconding all or a substantial portion of the defense response proteins, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric genes results in production of altered levels of the defense response proteins in a transformed host cell. This invention further relates to a method of introgressing disease resistance loci into rice germplasm.
