Enhanced tolerance to Phytophthora root and stem rot by over-expression of the plant antimicrobial peptide CaAMP1 gene in soybean
6 Jul 2020
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Background Antimicrobial peptides play important roles in both plant and animal defense systems. Moreover, over-expression of CaAMP1 ( Capsicum annuum antimicrobial protein 1 ), an antimicrobial protein gene isolated from C. annuum leaves infected with Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria , confers broad-spectrum resistance to hemibiotrophic bacterial and necrotrophic fungal pathogens in Arabidopsis ....
