Root-specific expression of defensin in transgenic tobacco results in enhanced resistance against Phytophthora parasitica var. nicotianae

2018-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Phytophthora species are soil-borne pathogens that damage plants in both agro- and natural ecosystems. To suppress the devastating pathogen, we generated a root-specific expression system using a specific promoter (pPRP3) conferring elevated expression of the target gene in roots that are very susceptible to soil-borne pathogens. To verify root-specific expression, we compared β-glucuronidase (GUS) expression driv...
