Abstract
Disclosed is a new plant resistance gene family, the members of which encode plant resistance polypeptides having P-loop and LRR structural motifs. Also disclosed are substantially pure plant DNAs encoding such polypeptides. The invention further involves transgenic plants and transformed host cells that express these DNAs and exhibit enhanced disease resistance to plant pathogens.
