A PLANT DISEASE RESISTANCE SIGNALLING GENE: MATERIALS AND METHODS RELATING THERETO

摘要

Plant disease resistance signalling gene Rar1 from barley, rice, Arabidopsis and homologues from other species. Nucleic acid and encoded polypeptides are useful in modulating the signalling pathway in plants leading to a plant pathogen defence response and/or cell death, or pathogen resistance effected by interaction of R gene products with pathogen Avr proteins.
