Evolution of plant disease response pathways to enable the development of plant based biological sensors and to develop novel disease resistance strategies

摘要

Methods for producing and identifying plant disease resistance (R) genes and elicitors with novel and desirable characteristics are provided. Methods for producing such R genes and elicitors using RNA recombination procedures are provided. Bio-detectors that are reporter genes responsive to induction by plant R genes, and the plant R genes that induce them are provided.
