[Expression of the bacterial gene CspD in tobacco plants increases their resistance to fungal and viral pathogens].
Low molecular (7.2 kD) cold shock protein D (CspD) from Bacillus thuringiensis was isolated in our laboratory in the late 1990s It was shown that CspD induced nonspecific resistance in plants to viral and fungal phytopathogens. It was suggested to explore the opportunity to express the gene of this elicitor in tobacco plant and evaluate the resistance ofthe transgenic plants to various pathogens. Several transgenic tobacco lines were obtained. Enhanced resistance of the transgenic plants was confirmed both to tobacco mosaic virus and to fungus Alternaria longipes.
