Expression of a fungal lectin in Arabidopsis enhances plant growth and resistance towards microbial pathogens and plant-parasitic nematode
2021-01-12
Abstract excerpt
Coprinopsis cinerea lectin 2 (CCL2) is a fucoside-binding lectin from the basidiomycete C. cinerea that is toxic to the bacterivorous nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as well as animal-parasitic and fungivorous nematodes. We expressed CCL2 in Arabidopsis to assess its protective potential towards plant-parasitic nematodes. Our results demonstrate that expression of CCL2 enhances host resistance against the cyst n...
