| 1999 | Invention patented by Yuelin Zhang, Mark Kinkema, Xinnian Dong, Pamela Ronald, and Maw Shenq Chern on March 10th, 1999. Abstract: The present invention provides nucleic acids that encode bZIP polypeptides that are capable of interacting with NPR1. The present invention also provides for bZIP polypeptides that are capable of interacting with NPR1 as well as transgenic plants comprising a nucleic acids that encode bZIP polypeptides that are capable of interacting with NPR1. Also provided by the present invention is a method for enhancing resistance of plants to pathogens by introducing a recombinant expression cassette comprising a plant promoter operably linked to a polynucleotide sequence encoding a bZIP polypeptide that interacts with NPR1. The present invention also provides for a method of identifying additional bZIP polypeptides that interact with NPR1. |
