Plant Pathology and weed Science

Considering that AtRAV1 orthologs are conserved in diverse plant species, we hypothesize that they can be gainfully deployed to control economically important diseases. Indeed, overexpression of tomato ortholog of AtRAV1 provided broad spectrum disease resistance against bacterial (Ralstonia solanacearum), fungal (R. solani) and viral (Tomato leaf curl virus) infections in tomato.
