Methods And Compositions For Regulating Cell Death And Enhancing Disease Resistance To Plant Pathogens

View page
US Patent:
6455297, Sep 24, 2002
Filed:
Aug 7, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/923654
Inventors:
Gurmukh S. Johal - Johnston IA
Steven P. Briggs - Del Mar CA
John Gray - Toledo OH
Gongshe Hu - Albany CA
Assignee:
Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc. - Des Moines IA
International Classification:
C12N 988
US Classification:
435232, 435 691, 4352523, 4353201, 536 231, 536 232, 530300, 530350, 530376
Abstract:
Compositions and methods for enhancing disease resistance to a pathogen in a plant are provided. Methods of the invention comprise stably transforming a plant with an antisense nucleotide sequence for a gene encoding an enzyme in the C-5 porphyrin metabolic pathway and operably linking said antisense sequence to a pathogen-inducible promoter, such that invasion of a cell by a pathogen elicits a hypersensitive-like response that results in confinement of the pathogen to cells of initial contact. Transformed plants and seeds are provided. Nucleotide sequences encoding a wild-type maize urod gene useful in the present invention and the amino acid sequence for the protein encoded thereby are provided. These compositions are also useful for regulating cell death in specifically targeted tissues. A maize lesion mimic, dominant mutant phenotype, designated Les22, and the molecular basis for its manifestation are also provided.
