Transgenic expression of a viral EPS-depolymerase is potentially useful to induce fire blight resistance in apple
2008-12-01
Abstract excerpt
Fire blight caused by Erwinia amylovora is the most destructive bacterial disease of pear and apple. The goal of this research was to improve fire blight resistance of apple by transformation with a gene encoding for an extracellular polysaccharide (EPS)-depolymerase from the E. amylovora phage phi-Ea1h. The EPS-depolymerase gene (dpo) driven by the constitutive promoter CaMV35S was transferred into apple scion cv...
