WOUND-INDUCIBLE EXPRESSION IN PLANTS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing plants in which expression of an insecticidal protein is regulated by a wound-induced promoter inducing local expression, preferably the wound-inducible TR2' promoter, to the chimeric genes used in this method and the plants obtained thereby, and to the processes for obtaining resistance to insects feeding on plants by localized expression of an insecticidal protein induced on wounding of plants by insect feeding.
