Protective effect of an antimicrobial peptide from Mytilus edulis chilensis expressed in Nicotiana tabacum L.

A "defensin-like" antibacterial peptide from Mytilus edulis chilensis, was sub-cloned into a binary vector for expression in plant tissues. The resulting new clone was electroporated into A. tumefaciens to transform tobacco plants. The presence of the construct in transgenic tobacco lines...
