GENETIC ENGINEERING OF DISEASE RESISTANCE IN OILSEED RAPE
EVOLUTION OF DEFENSE GENES AND GENE EXPRESSION
Basic compatibility is a specialized adaptation
A large array of defense genes is activated by pathogenic attack
Defense gene families evolve in copy number, sequence and expression
DRR206 is activated by bacteria and fungi
AN EVOLUTIONARY PERSPECTIVE ON GENETIC ENGINEERING OF DISEASE RESISTANCE
I
n principle, we can use different combinations of promoters and coding sequences to generate a diverse set of defense genotypes
Constitutive expression of pea DRR206 confers blackleg resistance in canola
Gene expression in
Brassica
defense responses
Expressed Sequence Tags from the canola/blackleg interaction
