Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of European chestnut somatic embryos with a Castanea sativa (Mill.) endochitinase gene

2016-09-01

Abstract excerpt

Chestnut blight, caused by Cryphonectria parasitica, is a severe disease that has devastated chestnut stands in North America and Europe. Genes encoding hydrolytic enzymes such as chitinases, which can degrade fungal cell wall components, are attractive candidates for improving disease resistance. This report describes a reliable and efficient protocol for the Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of somatic embry...
