Biolistic transformation of Cercospora caricis, a specific pathogenic fungus of Cyperus rotundus.
2001-02-01
Abstract excerpt
Cercospora caricis is being considered as a bioherbicide agent for use against purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus), one of the world's worst weeds. However, first its efficiency must be improved, for example by genetic transformation. By optimizing physical and biological parameters, the particle gun acceleration method (biolistics) has been adapted to transform mycelial cells of C. caricis. Two genes were expresse...
