USE OF ALANINE RACEMASE GENES TO TRANSFER NEMATODE RESISTANCE TO PLANTS

摘要

The invention provides alanine racemase encoding polynucleotides, which are capable of conferring increased nematode resistance in a plant. Specifically, the invention relates to methods of producing transgenic plants with increased nematode resistance, expression vectors comprising polynucleotides encoding alanine racemase, and transgenic plants and seeds generated thereof.
