Production of Antimicrobial Defensin in Nicotiana benthamiana with a Potato Virus X Vector

Production of Antimicrobial Defensin in Nicotiana benthamiana with a Potato Virus X Vector

A recombinant plasmid, pTXS.TH, was constructed to express the gene-encoding wasabi (Wasabia japonica) defensin with the potato virus X (PVX) vector. pTXS.TH allows the expression of defensin in the host Nicotiana benthamiana, and the defensin protein WT1 can be purified from virus-infected leaves b...
