Compositions and methods and for enhancing the resistance of plants to a plant disease caused by aspecies are provided. The compositions comprise nucleic acid molecules encoding resistance (R) gene products and variants thereof and plants, seeds, and plant cells comprising such nucleic acid molecules. The methods for enhancing the resistance of a plant to a plant disease caused by aspecies comprise introducing a nucleic acid molecule encoding an R gene product into a plant cell. Additionally provided are methods for using the plants in agriculture to limit plant disease.

Late blight resistance gene fromand methods of use

Disclosed herein are compostions and methods for improving or enhancing pathogen resistance in legume plants. Compositions comprising polypeptides encoded by legume-derived nucleotide-binding site-leucine-rich repeat (NB-LRR) genes are useful in improving resistance in legumes to Asian soybean rust. Methods of using NB-LRR genes can be used to make a transgenic resistant legume plant.

Polynucleotides and methods for transferring resistance to Asian soybean rust

Compositions and methods and for enhancing the resistance of plants to plant diseases caused by potyviruses are provided. The compositions comprise nucleic acid molecules encoding resistance (R) gene products and variants thereof and plants, seeds, and plant cells comprising such nucleic acid molecules. The methods for enhancing the resistance of a plant to plant disease caused by a potyvirus comprise introducing a nucleic acid molecule encoding an R gene product into a plant cell.

Methods are provided for enhancing the resistance of plants to bacterial pathogens. The methods involve transforming a plant with a polynucleotide molecule comprising a plant promoter operably linked to a nucleotide sequence that encodes a plant receptor that binds specifically with bacterial elongation factor-Tu. Further provided are expression cassettes, transformed plants, seeds, and plant cells that are produced by such methods.
