ABSTRACT
Parasitic plants develop a haustorium that intrudes host tissues. In roots of transgenic PRb-1b-GUS tobacco the expression of the chimeric gene was prominent nearOrobancheinfection. The expression of the pathogenesis related (PR) protein gene inOrobanche-infected roots indicates thatOrobanchereleases appropriate elicitors, and that the susceptible plant does senseOrobancheinvasion. TheOrobanche-responsive promoter may be a useful tool in engineering resistances to this parasitic weed.Copyright 1998 Annals of Botany Company
