Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A 23 amino acid peptide, AtPep1, plays an important role as a signaling component of the innate immune system of Arabidopsis . The peptide precursor gene is transcribed in response to elicitors generated by pathogens, and AtPep1 is produced to amplify the signaling pathways. Seven paralogs of the AtproPep1 gene have been identified in the Arabidopsis genome, and orthologs have been identified in species of several agriculturally important families. AtPep1 and its paralogs and orthologs play important roles as endogenous signals to amplify innate immunity. The sequences of two AtPep1 receptors from Arabidopsis are also provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A transgenic plant comprising a recombinant polypeptide consisting of i) a consensus amino acid sequence wherein X is any amino acid; residue 19 is Pro or Gly; residue 20 is Pro or Gly; and residues 1-14 include at least one Lys or Arg or ii) an amino acid carboxy terminal fragment of said consensus…
