Disease resistance in Vitis grape plants is conferred by producing a transgenic plant cell with a nucleic acid which expresses a lytic peptide

摘要

isclosed are methods for producing transgenic grapevines with resistance to plant pathogens, the method includes: transforming a plant cell of the genus Vitis with a nucleic acid which expresses a lytic peptide, where the expression of the lytic peptide provides resistance to a plant pathogen.
