Enhanced resistance to white rot in Ipomoea batatas expressing a Trichoderma harzianum chitinase gene
2021-09-01
Abstract excerpt
Collapsed sweet potato vines observed in Hangzhou fields in September 2019 were found to be due to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum based on its morphology and ITS rDNA sequence. Here, the chitinase gene chit42 from Trichoderma harzianum was introduced into Ipomoea batatas using Agrobacterium-mediated transformation to evaluate the effect against subsequent disease severity from S. sclerotiorum. PCR analysis detected the...
