Ectopic expression of Arabidopsis L-type lectin receptor kinase genes LecRK-I.9 and LecRK-IX.1 in Nicotiana benthamiana confers Phytophthora resistance

摘要

>Key message>Transgenic>Nicotiana benthamiana>lines with constitutive expression of an Arabidopsis lectin receptor kinase gene (>LecRK>->I.9>or>LecRK>->IX.1>) show enhanced resistance to>Phytophthora>pathogens, demonstrating conserved gene functionality after interfamily transfer.
