Transgenic indica Rice Expressing ns-LTP-Like Protein Shows Enhanced Resistance to Both Fungal and Bacterial Pathogens
2006-02-01
Abstract excerpt
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) from plant seeds, known to inhibit pathogen growth have a great potential in developing transgenic plants resistant to disease. Some of the nonspecific-lipid transfer proteins (ns-LTP) that facilitate in vitro transport of lipids, show antimicrobial activity in vitro. Rice seeds also contain ns-LTPs; however, these genes are expressed weakly in seedlings. We have transformed Pusa Basm...
