HYPERSENSITIVE RESPONSE ELICITOR FROM ERWINIA AMYLOVORA ITS USE AND ENCODING GENE

摘要

The present invention relates to an isolated protein or polypeptide that causes a hypersensitivity reaction in plants and an isolated DNA molecule encoding said hypersensitivity response inducer polypeptide or protein. These isolated proteins or polypeptides and isolated DNA molecules can be used to confer disease resistance in plants, promote plant growth, and / or control pests in plants. It may render the hypersensitivity response inducing polypeptide or protein to a plant or plant seed under effective conditions to render it resistant to disease, promote plant growth, and / or control pests in the plant or in plants grown from the plant seed. By application in an infectious form. It also provides a transgene plant or plant seed transformed with a DNA molecule encoding a hypersensitivity response triggering polypeptide or protein, confers disease resistance in the plant or in plants listed from the plant seed, and enhances plant growth. A plant or transgene plant derived from said transgene plant seed is grown under effective conditions that promote and / or control pests.
