Title:
METHODS OF USING ACYL-COENZYMEA-BINDING PROTEINS TO ENHANCE TOLERANCE TO NECROTROPHIC FUNGAL PATHOGENS IN GENETICALLY MODIFIED PLANTS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/010075
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
OsACBP5 can be used to enhance tolerance to fungal necrotrophs in genetically modified plants. OsACBP5-overexpressing transgenic Arabidopsis were conferred enhanced tolerance to fungal necrotrophs such as root-infecting necrotroph Rhizoctonia solani and shoot-infecting necrotrophs (Botrytis cinerea and Alternaria brassicicola). Vectors/expression cassettes for conferring tolerance to fungal necrotrophs to plants/plant material are provided. Methods of using OsACBP5 to enhance tolerance to fungal necrotrophs are provided. Plants and plant material with improved tolerance to fungal necrotrophs are also provided. Methods for screening for genes with OsACBP5-like activity are also provided.
