Cloning and characterization of the gene Pi2 of resistance of a broad spectrum

摘要

The invention provides methods and compositions for generating or enhance plant disease resistance to pests and diseases. By transforming plants by new rice Pi2-like disease resistance gene of the present invention, to increase the disease resistance of the plant. transformed plant cell disease resistance has increased, organization, and also provides seed. The compositions of the present invention are novel nucleotide sequences Pi2-like disease resistance gene homolog cloned from rice and the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide or protein length or partial proteins encoded thereby.
