摘要
We have tested whether a gene encoding a polygalacturonase-inhibiting protein (PGIP) protects tobacco against a fungal pathogen (Rhizoctonia solani) and two oomycetes (Phytophthora parasitica var. nicotianae and Peronospora hyoscyami f. sp. tabacina). The trials were performed in greenhouse conditions for R. solani and P parasitica and in the field for P hyoscyami. Our results show that expression of PGIP is a powerful way of engineering a broad-spectrum disease resistance.
