ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to methods of producing transgenic plants having resistance to blast fungus and/or leaf-blight bacteria by transforming the plants with a DNA encoding a protein that induces hypersensitive reaction-like lesion mimic, and transgenic plants, plant cells, seed and progeny having resistance to blast fungus and/or leaf-blight bacteria.
