2000-05-01
Abstract excerpt
Infection of potato plants and tubers with the bacteriumErwinia carotovora subsp.atroseptica produces blackleg and soft rot diseases, which cause significant losses to crops and stored potatoes. In order to obtain resistance against this bacterium, the genechly encoding the enzyme lysozyme from chicken was introduced into potato plants (cv. Desirée) viaAgrobacterium- mediated transformation. Sixty-three and 69 tra...
