Antifungal Activity in Transgenic Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) Conferred by a Nonheme Chloroperoxidase Gene

2009-07-01

Abstract excerpt

A nonheme chloroperoxidase gene (cpo-p) from Pseudomonas pyrrocinia, a growth inhibitor of mycotoxin-producing fungi, was introduced into peanut via particle bombardment. The expression of the cpo-p gene is predicted to increase pathogen defense in peanut. Embryogenic peanut tissues were bombarded with gold particles coated with plasmid pRT66 carrying the cpo-p and hygromycin phosphotransferase (hph) genes, under...
