Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of increasing the pathogen resistance in transgenic plants and/or plant cells, where a DNA sequence which codes for a protein with a leucine-rich-repeat (LRR) domain and/or a kinase activity is introduced into the plant or plant cell and expressed therein. The present invention also relates to the use of nucleic acids which code for such a protein, for the generation of transgenic plants or plant cells with an increased pathogen resistance. The present invention furthermore relates to nucleic acid sequences which code for a protein which confers an increased pathogen resistance in plants.
