摘要 |
Instant invention relates to a method of controlling plant pathogens by pathogen inducible expression of a deacetylase gene (deac) encoding a protein exhibiting N-acetyl-PPT (e.g., N-acetyl-phosphinothricine) specific deacetylase activity in combination with the application of a composition containing one or more non-toxic compound(s) (e.g., N-acetyl-PPT), allowing - after deacetylation within the plant cell - inducible and selective destruction of cells within a living plant after pathogen infestation.
