Identification of
The invention relates to novel nucleic acids and their encoded polypeptides from ASR and methods of use that enhance the plant's defensive elicitation response.
1. An isolated polynucleotide comprising a nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of:
(a) the nucleic acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 75 or the complement thereof; and,
(b) a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 76, wherein the polynucleotide is operably linked to a heterologous regulatory element.
2. An expression cassette comprising the isolated polynucleotide of claim 1 .
3. A non-human host cell comprising the expression cassette of claim 2 .
4. The host cell of claim 3 wherein the cell is a plant cell.
