ABSTRACT:
Recombinant pathogen-resistant plants comprise transformed plant cells, with the transformed plant cells containing a heterologous DNA construct comprising an expression cassette. The construct comprises a promoter, a structural gene positioned downstream from the promoter, and a termination sequence such as the nos terminator positioned downstream from the structural gene. The promoter is one which is activated by a plant pathogen which attacks the plant, such as the RB7 nematode-responsive element. The structural gene encodes a product such as Barnase which is toxic to the plant cells.
