Abstract:
1. A method for producing a transformed plant, which comprises the steps of introducing into a plant cell an isolated DNA sequence of any one of the following (a) to (c), wherein the DNA sequence encodes a plant-derived protein that functions to improve plant disease resistance compared to a wild type plant, and wherein the plant is a monocotyledon: (a) a DNA sequence encoding a protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2; (b) a DNA sequence comprising the coding region of the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; and (c) a DNA sequence encoding a protein comprising an amino acid sequence having 95% or more identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2; regenerating a plant body from the plant cell; and selecting regenerated plants comprising said isolated DNA sequence with improved plant disease resistance comparable to a wild type plant and with only minor sacrifice of growth compared to a [benzothiadiazole (BTH)-treated] wild type plant.
