Transgenic plants expressing puroindolines and methods for producing such plants

摘要

This invention relates to plant cells, plant tissues or plants transgenic for a nucleic acid encoding a puroindoline. This invention also relates to methods of producing such transgenic plant cells, plant tissues or plants. The transgenic plants produced by the methods of this invention are useful in reducing the damage caused by plant pests, especially plant pathogens such as fungi and bacteria.
