Abstract

See full text

Methods and compositions for making citrus plants with enhanced resistance to Asiatic citrus canker (ACC) and other forms of citrus canker caused by Xanthomonas are provided. The methods involve transforming citrus plant cells with polynucleotide constructs comprising a promoter operably linked to nucleotide sequence that encodes a protein that is capable of triggering cell death in a citrus plant. The promoters of the invention are inducible by one or more Xanthomonas strains that cause citrus canker. Isolated nucleic acid molecules and expression cassettes comprising such polynucleotide constructs and promoters are further provided. Citrus plants with enhanced resistance to citrus canker are also provided.
