Abstract excerpt
In order to improve pear resistance against fire blight caused by Erwinia amylovora, a search for promoters driving high-level expression of transgenes specifically in response to this bacterial pathogen has been undertaken. We have examined the ability of hsr203J, str246C and sgd24 tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) promoters to drive expression of the uidA reporter gene in pear. Transgenic pear clones were obtained...
