TRANSGENIC MAIZE PLANTS EXPRESSING MODIFIED RIBOSOMAL PROTEIN L3 (RPL3) WITH TOLERANCE TO GIBBERELLA EAR ROT

TRANSGENIC MAIZE PLANTS EXPRESSING MODIFIED RIBOSOMAL PROTEIN L3 (RPL3) WITH TOLERANCE TO GIBBERELLA EAR ROT

Fusarium graminearumcauses Gibberella ear rot in maize and contaminates the infected kernels with mycotoxins like, deoxynivalenol (DON). DON acts as virulence factor and interacts with the ribosomal protein L3 (Rpl3) that initiates eukaryotic protein synthesis. In this study transgenic maize plants...

Zusammenfassung:Fusarium graminearumcauses Gibberella ear rot in maize and contaminates the infected kernels with mycotoxins like, deoxynivalenol (DON). DON acts as virulence factor and interacts with the ribosomal protein L3 (Rpl3) that initiates eukaryotic protein synthesis. In this study transgenic maize plants were developed with a modifiedRpl3gene from rice that is resistant to DON. Field grown transgenic maize had lower disease scores after inoculation withF. graminearum.
