Cisgenic melons over expressing glyoxylate-aminotransferase are resistant to downy mildew
2009-11-01
Abstract excerpt
Downy mildew caused by the oomycete Pseudoperonospora cubensis, is a devastating foliar disease of cucurbits. The wild melon PI 124111F (PI) is highly resistant to this disease while BU21/3 and Hemed are susceptible. In a previous study we showed that resistance in PI is metabolic, resulting from enhanced activity of glyoxylate aminotransferase encoded by the genes At1 and At2. When either gene from PI was transfo...
