| 摘要 |
A method of protecting a plant against a pathogen is described, the method comprising inducing expression of a plant defensin gene by stimulating the jasmonate and/or ethylenc pathways. Also deseribed is a method of inducing expression of a plant defensin gene, a composition which is capable of inducing expression of a plant defensin gene and a method for screening compounds giving resistance-inducing activity. Preferably, the pathogen is a necrotrophic pathogen. |
