Abstract

Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for improving or enhancing pathogen resistance in legume plants. Compositions comprising polypeptides encoded by legume-derived nucleotide-binding site-leucine-rich repeat (NB-LRR) genes are useful in improving resistance in legumes to Asian soybean rust. Methods of using NB-LRR genes can be used to make a transgenic resistant legume plant.
