Application

Application Comment Organism
agriculture expression of enzyme in tobacco. The highest chitinase activities are found in plants harboring two copies of chitinase inserts at different loci. Copy number has observable effects neither on plant growth nor development, but substantial heterogeneity concerning production of the recombinant chitinase, and both general and specific chitinolytic activities are detected in leaf extracts from primary transformants. Transformants show a stable inheritance pattern, with transgene segregation following a mendelian dihybrid ratio. Selected plants expressing high levels of CHIT42 are consistently resistant to the soilborne pathogen Rhizoctonia solani Metarhizium anisopliae
