Abstract
In accordance with the present invention, there are provided transgenic plants comprising a plurality of plant-defense-associated proteins that are expressed to produce such proteins in an amount sufficient to increase the plants resistance to plant pathogens, relative to non-transgenic plants of the same species. The transgenic plants are useful to study patterns of development, and to provide increased resistance to plant pathogens when grown in crops as a food source, and the like. Nucleic acid constructs are also provided that are useful in methods for producing the invention transgenic plants.
