| abstract |
The present invention provides novel polynucleotides encoding plant prenyl protease polypeptides, fragments and homologs thereof. Also provided arc vectors, host cells, antibodies, and recombinant methods for producing said polypeptides. The invention further provides novel polynucleotides encoding plant promoters, polypeptides, fragments and homologs thereof. The invention further relates to methods of applying these novel plant polypeptides to the identification, prevention, and/or conferment of resistence to various plant diseases and/or disorders, particularly drought resistence. |
