Transgenic indica rice expressing Mirabilis jalapa antimicrobial protein (Mj-AMP2) shows enhanced resistance to the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae

2008-09-01

Abstract excerpt

Mj-AMP2, a knottin-type antimicrobial peptide, in vitro inhibits the growth of several plant pathogenic fungi including Magnaporthe oryzae. We demonstrate that transgenic rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants expressing the Mj-AMP2 gene show enhanced resistance to M. grisea, the causal agent of the rice blast disease. Mj-AMP2 was efficiently expressed and the level of Mj-AMP2 ranged from 0.32% to 0.38% of the total protei...
