Over-expression of the cloned rice thaumatin-like protein (PR-5) gene in transgenic rice plants enhances environmental friendly resistance to Rhizoctonia solani causing sheath blight disease
1999-05-01
Abstract excerpt
A 1.1-kb DNA fragment containing the coding region of a thaumatin-like protein (TLP-D34), a member of the PR-5 group, was cloned into the rice transformation vector pGL2, under the control of the CaMV 35S promoter. The Indica rice cultivars, 'Chinsurah Boro II', 'IR72', and 'IR51500' were transformed with the tlp gene construct by PEG-mediated direct gene transfer to protoplasts and by biolistic transformation usi...
