Expressing stacked HRAP and PFLP genes in transgenic banana has no synergistic effect on resistance to Xanthomonas wilt disease
2016-05-01
Abstract excerpt
Banana production in Africa's great lakes region is threatened by the Banana Xanthomonas wilt (BXW) disease caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum, a biotrophic pathogen. Transgenic banana plants, cv. “Gonja manjaya,” expressing stacked hypersensitive response-assisting protein gene (HRAP) and the plant ferredoxin-like protein gene (PFLP) were evaluated for resistance against BXW in comparison to transgen...
