Expression of the cercosporin transporter, CFP, in tobacco reduces frog-eye lesion size
BIOTECHNOLOGY LETTERS, 27(20), 1543–1550.
author keywords: cercosporin; frog-eye leaf spot; major facilitator; plant genetic engineering; toxin efflux
MeSH headings : Ascomycota / genetics; Fungal Proteins / biosynthesis; Fungal Proteins / genetics; Membrane Transport Proteins / biosynthesis; Membrane Transport Proteins / genetics; Plant Diseases / genetics; Plants, Genetically Modified / genetics; Plants, Genetically Modified / metabolism; Tobacco / genetics; Tobacco / metabolism
TL;DR:
It is concluded that transgenic expression of CFP may have relevance for a disease control strategy in Cercospora-plant pathosystems where cercosporin is implicated in pathogen virulence.
