Title:
TRANSGENIC PLANTS EXPRESSING A VIRAL ANTIFUNGAL PROTEIN
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/012480
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Transgenic plants expressing the KP4 antifungal protein are provided which exhibit high levels of antifungal resistance. Such transgenic plants contain a recombinant DNA construct comprising a heterologous signal peptide sequence that is operably linked to a non-native nucleic acid sequence encoding a mature KP4 antifungal protein.
