US Patent:
20140356961, Dec 4, 2014
Filed:
Jul 20, 2012
Appl. No.:
14/234174
Inventors:
Blake Meyers - Wilmington DE, US
Jixian Zhai - Newark DE, US
Janine Sherrier - Hockessin DE, US
Assignee:
University of Delaware Technology Park - Newark DE
International Classification:
C12N 15/82
US Classification:
435468
Abstract:
A method for generating a phased siRNA (phasiRNA) in a plant cell comprises introducing into the plant cell an effective amount of a microRNA (miRNA). A transcript of a NB-LRR encoding gene may be cleaved in the plant cell. Resistance of the plant to a microbe may be reduced. The plant may enter a symbiotic interaction with a microbe. Nodulation in the plant may be improved. Related compositions are provided.
