Transgenic expression of pear PGIP in tomato limits fungal colonization.
Transgenic tomato plants expressing the pear fruit polygalacturonase inhibitor protein (pPGIP) were used to demonstrate that this inhibitor of fungal pathogen endopolygalacturonases (endo-PGs) influences disease development. Transgenic expression of pPGIP resulted in abundant accumulation of the heterologous protein in all tissues and did not alter the expression of an endogenous tomato fruit P...
متن کاملThe expression of a bean PGIP in transgenic wheat confers increased resistance to the fungal pathogen Bipolaris sorokiniana.
A possible strategy to control plant pathogens is the improvement of natural plant defense mechanisms against the tools that pathogens commonly use to penetrate and colonize the host tissue. One of these mechanisms is represented by the host plant's ability to inhibit the pathogen's capacity to degrade plant cell wall polysaccharides. Polygalacturonase-inhibiting proteins (PGIP) are plant defen...
متن کاملEvaluation of tolerance to Pierce's disease and Botrytis in transgenic plants of Vitis vinifera L. expressing the pear PGIP gene.
SUMMARY Polygalacturonase-inhibiting proteins (PGIPs) are plant cell-wall proteins that specifically inhibit fungal endo-polygalacturonases (PGs) that contribute to the aggressive decomposition of susceptible plant tissues. The inhibition of fungal PGs by PGIPs suggests that PGIPs have a role in plant tolerance to fungal infections and this has been observed in transgenic plants expressing PGIP...
متن کاملDIRECTING POTENTIAL ANTI-XYLELLA GENE PRODUCTSTO THE XYLEM OF TRANSGENIC GRAPEVINES Project Leaders:
One of our target genes is a pear pgip cloned in the Labavitch lab (Stotz et al. 1993). PGIPs are proteins containing a leucinerich repeat domain that are targeted to the plant cell wall and that specifically inhibit fungal polygalacturonases (PGs). By inhibiting PGs, PGIPs directly interfere with host cell wall degradation and may thus prevent degradation of pectic oligomeric elicitors that ar...
متن کاملExpression of recombinant human acetylcholinesterase in transgenic tomato plants.
Enzyme therapy for the prevention and treatment of organophosphate poisoning depends on the availability of large amounts of cholinesterases. Transgenic plants are being evaluated for their efficiency and cost-effectiveness as a system for the bioproduction of therapeutically valuable proteins. Here we report production of a recombinant isoform of human acetylcholinesterase in transgenic tomato...
