Nucleotide sequences coding for signal transduction components involved in plant pathogen defense

摘要

The invention relates to nucleotide sequences derived from a plant genome, encoding a polypeptide product which can be activated as a signaling molecule in the signal transduction pathway of resistance to a plant pathogen which resistance results from the interaction between polypeptide products encoded by a resistance gene and elicitors encoded by an avirulence gene in said soil plant pathogen, wherein the polypeptide product encoded by the nucleotide sequence interacts with a polypeptide product encoded by said resistance gene. The invention also relates to the use of these sequences in the establishment of durable and broad-range resistance strategies based on plant defence
