Fungal resistant transgenic pepper plants and their production method

摘要

A stable pepper transformation was established using Agrobacterium mediated method. Pepper plants were transformed with PepEST or PepDef gene, where the expression of the nucleic acid sequence in the plant resulted in increased resistance to fungal infection as compared to the wild type plant. Provided are agricultural products including seeds produced by the transgenic plants. Also provided are vectors and host cells containing the nucleic acids coding PepEST and PepDef, respectively.
