NOVEL MONOCOTYLEDONOUS PLANT GENES AND USES THEREOF

Homologues of the Arabidopsis NIM1 gene, which is involved in the signal transduction cascade leading to systemic acquired resistance (SAR), are isolated from monocotyledonous crops such as Triticum aestivum (wheat) and Oryza sativa (rice). The invention further concerns transformation vectors and p...

Summary:Homologues of the Arabidopsis NIM1 gene, which is involved in the signal transduction cascade leading to systemic acquired resistance (SAR), are isolated from monocotyledonous crops such as Triticum aestivum (wheat) and Oryza sativa (rice). The invention further concerns transformation vectors and processes for expressing the monocotyledonous NIM1 homologues in transgenic plants to increase SAR gene expression and enhance broad spectrum disease resistance
