Patent

CA 2258576

The invention concerns the location and characterization of a gene (designated NIMI) which is a key component of the SAR pathway and which in connection with chemical and biological inducers enables induction of SAR gene expression and broad spectrum disease resistance to plants. The invention further concerns plants transformed with the NIMI gene as well as methods employing the gene to create the transgenic plants and employing the gene in a screening assay for compounds capable of inducing broad spectrum disease resistance in plants.

L'invention concerne la localisation et la caractérisation d'un gène (désigné NIM1) qui est un composant clé du mécanisme d'action de la résistance systémique acquise (SAR) et qui, en association avec des inducteurs chimiques et biologiques, permet d'induire une expression du gène SAR et une résistance aux maladies à large spectre dans les plantes. L'invention a aussi pour objet des plantes transformées par le gène NIM1. Elle concerne aussi des procédés utilisant ce gène pour créer des plantes transgéniques et dans des analyses visant à détecter les composés permettant d'induire une résistance aux maladies à large spectre dans les plantes.
