Abstract:
The present invention concerns a method for introducing and/or improving plant resistance to the attack and/or spread of fungal pathogens. The method comprises applying at least one anti-fungal compound to a plant or plant part that has been genetically modified using recombinant DNA technology. The method results in a synergistic effect, as determined using Colby's formula, between the anti-fungal compound and the genetically modified plant or plant part which leads to improved resistance relative to control plants.
Abstract:
This invention describes pathogen-inducible promoters which normally drive expression of plant hexose oxidases, especially those which can be isolated from Helianthus annuus and Lactuca sativa, more specifically those promoters which naturally are the regulatory regions driving expression of the hexose oxidase MS59 and WL64, respectively. Also claimed are chimeric constructs where these pathogen-inducible promoters drive expression of antipathogenic proteins or of proteins which can elicit a hypersensitive response.
Abstract:
Isolated nucleic acid molecules capable of regulating expression in plants, as well as expression [cassettes, vectors and transgenic plants comprising the same are provided.

Abstract:
The present invention provides an isolated protein obtainable from a plant source which has antifungal activity, specifically anti-Phytophthora activity and/or anti-Pythium activity and a molecular weight of about 55-65 kDa as judged by SDS PAGE-electrophoresis, an isolated DNA sequence comprising an open reading frame capable of encoding a protein according to the invention, preferably characterised in that it comprises an open reading frame which is capable of encoding a protein depicted in SEQ ID NO. 16, SEQ ID NO. 57, SEQ ID NO. 70, SEQ ID NO. 72 or SEQ ID NO. 74 or muteins thereof, and DNA capable of hybridising therewith under stringent conditions. The invention further comprises plants incorporating chimeric DNA capable of encoding a protein according to the invention, and wherein the protein is expressed. Also shown is the carbohydrate and preferably hexose oxidating activity of said protein. Also methods are provided for combating fungi, especially Phytophthora and Pythium species, using a protein or a host cell capable of producing the protein.
