A NOVEL IMMUNOGENIC FUNGAL EXTRACT AND PATTERN RECOGNITION RECEPTOR IN PLANTS

摘要

The present invention relates to a purified fungal extract (SsE1) that elicits immune responses in plants and the identification of the plant receptor AtRLP30 which mediates the recognition of SsE1. Further provided are methods for the production of the extract SsE1, and the use of the SsE1 and AtRLP30 in plants in order to modulate the plants immune response, in particular against fungal infections withSclerotinia spp.orBotrytis spp.
