Greenhouse and field testing of transgenic wheat plants stably expressing genes for thaumatin-like protein, chitinase and glucanase against Fusarium graminearum.
Genes encoding pathogenesis-related (PR-) proteins isolated from a cDNA library of Fusarium graminearum-infected wheat spikes of scab-resistant cultivar 'Sumai-3' were transformed into susceptible spring wheat, 'Bobwhite' using a biolistic transformation protocol, with the goal of enhancing levels of resistance against scab. Twenty-four putative transgenic lines expressing either a single PR-pr...
متن کاملTransgenic wheat expressing a barley class II chitinase gene has enhanced resistance against Fusarium graminearum
Fusarium head blight (FHB; scab), primarily caused by Fusarium graminearum, is a devastating disease of wheat worldwide. FHB causes yield reductions and contamination of grains with trichothecene mycotoxins such as deoxynivalenol (DON). The genetic variation in existing wheat germplasm pools for FHB resistance is low and may not provide sufficient resistance to develop cultivars through traditi...
متن کاملGenetic transformation of Tomato with three pathogenesis-related protein genes for increased resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici
Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. Lycopersici is one of the major obstacles to the production of tomato which causes huge losses in tomato products worldwide. In order to increase the tolerance to this disease, a triple structure containing PR1, chitinase and glucanase genes controlled by 35S promoter was transferred to tomato. Eight days after planting on pre-culture me...
متن کاملHeterologous Expression of the Secale cereal Thaumatin-Like Protein in Transgenic Canola Plants Enhances Resistance to Stem Rot Disease
Canola (Brassica napus L.) is an important oilseed crop. A serious problem in cultivation of this crop andyield loss, are due to fungal disease stem rot caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. The pathogenesis-related(PR) proteins have the potential for enhancing resistance against fungal pathogen. Thaumatin-like proteins(TLPs) have been shown to have antifungal activity on variou...
متن کاملEnzymatic detoxification of Don in transgenic plants via expression of Fusarium graminearum Tri101 gene
Fusarium graminearum is causal agent of economically catastrophic disease of cereal Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) around the world. In addition to causing a loss of yield, this fungus causes serious threats to humans and animals due to the contamination of grain with the trichothecene mycotoxin. TRI101 gene, a Fusarium spp. gene, encodes an enzyme that transfers an acetyl group to the C3 hydroxyl ...
