Plant cells encoding a peptide mimotope to mycotoxin deoxynivalenol and uses thereof

摘要

The present invention provides transgenic plants cells that express a peptide mimotope of the non-peptide mycotoxin deoxynivalenol. In particular, the peptide mimotope competes with deoxynivalenol for binding to a monoclonal antibody and is antagonistic to the inhibitory effects of deoxynivalenol on in vitro protein synthesis. ransgenic plants expressing the peptide mimotype are resistant to deoxynivalenol.
