| Research Abstract |
Mature Nicotiana benthamiana shows strong resistance to the potato late blight pathogen Phytophthora infestans. By screening using virus-induced random gene silencing, we isolated over 30 genes required for resistance of N. benthamiana to P. infestans. Further functional analyses revealed that isolated genes are involved in various processes for plant disease resistance including the activation of defense responses after the recognition of pathogen, pro duction of anti-microbial compounds (phytoalexin), and secretion of phytoalexin at the site of pathogen attack
