Abstract:
PURPOSE: Provided are gene encoding for a transcription factor which regulates the expression of defense related genes in rice and method for inducing the systemic acquired resistance by using this gene. In particular, provided is Oryza sativa ethylene response element binding protein(OsEREBP), a transcription factor which regulates the expression of defense related genes in rice. CONSTITUTION: The method of selecting OsEREBP comprises: treating the known systemic acquired resistance inducer, benzo-1,2,3-thiadiazole-7-carbothioic acid-S-methyl ether (BTH) to produce mRNA which is related to induction of systemic acquired resistance; transcribing the mRNA to obtain cDNA clone by using a transcriptase; selecting cDNA clone capable of being amplified by BTH treatment using the cDNA as a probe; and confirming a OsEREBP by analyzing nucleotide sequence and homology of cDNA clone. The nucleotide sequence of OsEREBP is represented by SEQ ID NO:1.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a Rhizoctonia solani AROM (RsAROM) gene-specific primer and to a method for detecting sheath blight by using the same, which can be used as a molecular biological method for diagnosing sheath blight by using a primer that can specifically detect RsAROM gene existing in a sheath blight genome and a probe to objectively quantify the development of sheath blight.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for enhancing soft rot resistance in a plant is provided to reduce agrochemical usage and to improve productivity of the plants. CONSTITUTION: A method for enhancing soft rot resistance in a plant comprises a step of increasing intracellular level of RTP1(resistance to pectobacterium 1) protein having amino acids of sequence number 2 by overexpressing a gene encoding RTP1 protein. The gene has a base of sequence number 1. The gene is overexpressed by transforming a plant cell with a recombinant expression vector. The expression vector contains the gene encoding RTP1 protein or RTP1 gene.
