Abstract
The present invention relates to methods and materials for the protection of plants against pathogens through plant genetic engineering, and more particularly to genes which enhance disease resistance in plants by encoding proteins that physically interact with R gene products involved in activation of plant defense mechanisms. The invention further relates to three nucleotide sequences which have been cloned, isolated and sequenced, three amino acid sequences encoded thereby and a transgenic plant and methods for making the same, the genome of the plant having incorporated therein a foreign nucleotide sequence selected in accordance with the invention which functions to enhance the plant's ability to resist pathogens.
