High-level expression of apple PGIP1 is not sufficient to protect transgenic potato against Verticillium dahliae
2004-09-01
Abstract excerpt
Polygalacturonase-inhibiting proteins (PGIPs) are plant proteins believed to play a role in the defence against pathogenic fungi. Purified apple PGIP1 inhibited polygalacturonases (PGs) secreted by Verticillium dahliae grown on potato root cell walls and pectin. We therefore hypothesised that apple PGIP1 could be used to confer resistance against Verticillium-wilt, a major disease of potato caused by the fungus V....
