Transgenic plants expressing cationic peptide chimeras exhibit broad-spectrum resistance to phytopathogens.

Nature biotechnology - 1 Nov 2000

Abstract excerpt

Here we describe a strategy for engineering transgenic plants with broad-spectrum resistance to bacterial and fungal phytopathogens. We expressed a synthetic gene encoding a N terminus-modified, cecropin-melittin cationic peptide chimera (MsrA1), with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. The synthetic gene was introduced into two potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivars, Desiree and Russet Burbank, stable...
