Constitutive Expression of Pea Defense Gene DRR206 Confers Resistance to Blackleg (Leptosphaeria maculans) Disease in Transgenic Canola (Brassica napus)
To identify genes effective against the blackleg fungus Leptosphaeria maculans (Phoma lingam), we have transformed canola (Brassica napus) with four pea (Pisum sativum) genes under constitutive control by the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter: PR10.1, chitinase, DRR206, and defensin. Transgenic...
