A method for isolating a fungus-responsive promoter comprising the steps of:

Fungus-responsive chimeric gene

Middle chain-specific thioesterase genes from Cuphea lanceolata

Fungus-responsive chimaeric gene

Fungus-responsive chimaeric genes are used in the production of transgenic plants which can produce plant cells surrounding the fungus infection that become capable of killing, disabling or repelling the fungus or that are themselves killed or rendered unsuitable for the fungus to feed upon, thereby preventing the spread of fungus infection.
