GENE CODING THE INSECT-RESISTANT DEFENSIN FROM BRASSICA RAPA AND TRANSGENIC PLANTS USING THAT

摘要

A gene encoding pest resistant defensin derivered from brassica rapa is provided to produce a transgenic plant body having resistance to biological stress including mold, virus, bacteria, globodera rostochiensis and pest and abiotic stress including drying, injury from salt, and heavy metal. A recombinant vector pMJC-GB-BrD1 is prepared by inserting a pest resistant defensin gene BrD1 derivered from brassica rapa, into pSB1. A transgenic body is obtained by introducing the recombinant vector pMJC-GB-BrD1 to Agrobacterium tumefaciens. A transgenic plant body is obtained by introducing the transgenic body to plants.
