TL;DR: The extracellular washing fluid from leaves of transgenic plants expressing either of the secreted class I enzymes exhibited antifungal activity on F. solani germlings in vitro comparable to that of the purified vacuolar class I proteins.

TL;DR: Extracts from salicylic acid-treated lettuce and sunflower leaves displayed very potent antimicrobial activity against a set of phytopathogens, and transgenic plants overexpressing Ha-CHOX displayed enhanced resistance to infection by this pathogen, and the resistance level was proportional to enzyme expression.

TL;DR: In the expressionrange studied, phytase expression was gene-dosage dependent and the accumulation ofphytase appeared to be fairly stable.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed an Agrobacterium mediated plant transformation, especially to transformation of plants with T-DNA, where read-through at the borders is prohibited, which can be done by inhibition of transfer of vector DNA to the plant cell by creating DNA binding sites outside the T-borders.

TL;DR: In this article, an isolated protein obtainable from a plant source which has antifungal activity, specifically anti-Phytophthora activity and/or anti-Pythium activity and a molecular weight of about 55-65 kDa as judged by SDS PAGE-electrophoresis, was presented.
