Methods to reduce the extent of protease degradation of a protein applied to or produced by a plant, to inhibit the growth of a plant pathogen and to produce a plant, peptide, nucleic acid molecule, nucleic acid segment, nucleic acid construction , transgenic plant, seed, plant cell, and, composition for use in protecting a peptide, polypeptide or protein from protease degradation.

摘要

"METHODS FOR REDUCING THE EXTENSION OF PROTEASE DEGRADATION OF A PROTEIN APPLIED TO OR PRODUCED BY A PLANT, TO INHIBIT THE GROWTH OF A VEGETABLE PATHOGEN AND TO PRODUCE A PLANT, PEPTIDE, NUCLEIC, NUCLEIC ACID MOLECULE, SEGMENT NUCLEIC, TRANSGENIC PLANT, SEED, VEGETABLE CELL, AND, COMPOSITION FOR USE IN PROTECTING A PEPTIDE, POLYPEPTIDE OR PROTEIN IN PROTEASE Degradation "Peptides are disclosed that have enhanced stability against plant protease and are useful in the control of plant diseases. Peptides also have the ability to protect other peptides, polypeptides or proteins from degradation by plant, fungal, viral, bacterial, insect or other origins. The DNA encoding the peptides of the present invention can be co-expressed with other exogenous peptides that encode DNA in transgenic plants as a method for protecting foreign peptides from protease degradation. Nucleic acid sequences, microorganisms, plants and compositions useful for the treatment of plant diseases are also disclosed.
