Abstract excerpt
Plant defense responses are induced when the products of disease-resistance genes and pathogen avirulence genes interact. We report here the effects of expressing the Cladosporium fulvum avirulence Avr9 gene product in a tomato line containing the Cf-9 disease-resistance gene. A synthetic Avr9 gene was constructed to produce constitutive high-level expression of AVR9 peptide in the plant apoplast. Avr9 expression...
