Abstract
Compositions and methods for enhancing disease resistance in plants are provided. The method involves transforming a plant with an avirulence gene or alternatively with an avirulence gene and the complementing resistance gene. A pathogen inducible promoter or alternatively a weak constitutive promoter is used to control the desired level of disease control in the plant. Transformed plants, plant cells, tissues, and seed are also provided having enhanced disease resistance.
