EXPRESSION OF GENES ENCODING PLANT PATHOGENESIS RELATED PROTEINS IN PLANT ASSOCIATED BACTERIA

摘要

The present invention relates to a DNA sequence comprising regulatory components from a bacterial source fused to a DNA coding sequence from a plant, which DNA coding sequence results in expression of a plant pathogenesis related protein in a bacterium. It also relates to transgenic bacteria containing the DNA sequences and methods of using such transformed bacteria to provide plant protective activity in a localized environment.
