Description:
|
The multiple biotic stress resistant rice NIA-OS005-3 was created by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation with the vector pSTARA R-4 POsUbi7:WRKY45.
The Plants express the WRKY45 transcription factor which sets off a signalling cascade that protects plants from various diseases/ stresses by activating the salicylic acid (SA) signaling pathway.
As a selectable marker they also express a mutant form of their endogenous acetolactate synthase gene (two mutations leading to W548L and S627I, designated mALS), reslting in a tolerance to sulfonylurea herbicides.
