The Zea mays b-32 ribosome-inactivating protein efficiently inhibits growth of Fusarium verticillioides on leaf pieces in vitro
2009-07-01
Abstract excerpt
In maize endosperm, a cytosolic albumin, b-32, with a molecular weight of 32 kDa is synthesised in temporal and quantitative coordination with the deposition of storage proteins. This protein has homology with several previously characterised Ribosome-Inactivating Proteins (RIPs). To verify if the maize plant expressing b-32 in various tissues has an increased tolerance to fungal pathogens, transgenic plants were...
