Abstract:
1. A transgenic plant having stably incorporated into its genome a DNA construct comprising a nucleotide sequence that encodes a protein having nematode resistance activity, wherein said nucleotide sequence is selected from the group consisting of: a) the nucleotide sequence set forth as SEQ ID NO: 61; b) a nucleotide sequence having at least 90% sequence identity to the nucleotide sequence set forth as SEQ ID NO: 61; c) a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence set forth as SEQ ID NO: 62; and, d) a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having at least 90% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence set forth as SEQ ID NO: 62; wherein the nucleotide sequence is operably linked to a promoter that drives expression of a coding sequence in a plant cell, and wherein the transgenic plant has increased resistance to at least one nematode relative to a plant of the same species that does not comprise the nucleotide sequence.
