Design Artificial Resistance Using Plant Elicitor Peptides
摘要
The lack of resistance resources seriously hampers disease-resistant breeding. The ability to customize artificial resistance has long been a dream for crop breeders. This chapter provides a detailed description of a recently reported an artificial resistance design using plant elicitor peptides. In theory, this artificial resistance strategy can easily be adapted to other protease-encoding pathogens by replacing the metacaspase cleavage site in plant elicitor peptides with the recognition sequence of the pathogen-encoded protease.
