The present invention relates to new DNA sequences, a method for producing new plants which contain a new DNA sequence, the coding sequence thereof being expressed after ozone induction. The invention also relates to said new plants and the use of DNA sequences to produce ozone-responsive gene expression in plants and plant cells. Moreover, it relates to a new promoter, the specificity thereof being increased by removal of the ozone response capacity thereof.

Ozone-induced gene expression in plants

The present invention relates to new caffeoyl-CoA 3-O-methyltransferase genes isolated from parsley and their use for the transformation of vectors, host organisms and plants.

DNA sequences encoding stilbene synthases and their use

A stilbene synthase gene. More particularly, a stilbene synthase gene in which the stilbene synthase is resveratrol synthase. Also more particularly a stilbene synthase gene which is obtained from groundnut (Arachis hypogaea). Furthermore a stilbene synthase gene, corresponding to the stilbene synthase gene which is contained in the plasmid pGS 828.1, and DNA sequences acting in essentially the same say. Still further, a stilbene synthase gene unit which comprises approximately 6,700 base pairs and exhibits 3 EcoRI, 3 HindIII and 1 PstI cleavage sites, and which can be obtained by partial cleavage of the plasmid PGS 828.1 using EcoRI and HindIII, or from plasmid pGS 828.1 using SstI and PvuII.

Stilbene synthase gene

New genes for pinosylvine synthase ('pinosylvine synthase genes') have been found, which can be incorporated into the hereditary factors (the genome) of plants that generate no pinosylvine or only inadequate pinosylvine, whereby an increased resistance of these plants to pests can be brought about. Also disclosed are vectors, host organisms, and plants transformed with the new pinosylvine synthase genes.

Deoxyribonucleic acid coding for glutathione-S-transferase and its use

The present invention relates to the gene for stilbene synthase, isolated from plants, and its use for the transformation of vectors, host organisms and plants, as well as to the production of plants which have an increased resistance to pests.

The present invention relates to new caffeoyl-CoA 3-O-methyltransferase genes isolated from plants and their use for the transformation of vectors, host organisms and plants and for the generation of plants which have an increased resistance to pests.

The present invention relates to novel genes, isolated from plants, for bibenzyl synthase and to their use for transforming vectors, host organisms and plants, as well as for producing plants which exhibit an increased resistance towards pests.

Bibenzyl synthase genes

A method for increasing the resistance of a plant to fungi and animal pests comprising introducing into the genome of the plant one or more lysozyme gene structures which express lysozyme, the lysozyme gene structure comprises a chimeric gene fusion of the TR promoter, the signal peptide sequence of barley alpha-amylase and one or more lysozyme genes.
