Abstract
The invention is directed to nucleic acid sequences derived from Fusarium fungal genes which encode the cell wall-degrading enzymes glucanase, endochitinase, and exochitinase; isolated polypeptides having glucanase, endochitinase or exochitinase activity; recombinant nucleic acid molecules, vectors, and host cells comprising the nucleic acid sequences as well as methods for producing and using the polypeptides, including expression in plant cells to confer or enhance a plant's resistance to Fusarium and other pathogens.
