Fungal diseases damage crop plants and affect agricultural production. Transgenic plants have been produced by inserting antifungal genes to confer resistance against fungal pathogens. Genes of fungal cell wall-degrading enzymes, such as chitinase and glucanase, are frequently used to produce fungal-resistant transgenic crop plants. In this review, we summarize the details of various transformation studies to develop fungal resistance in crop plants.
真菌病害会损害农作物并影响农业生产。人们通过插入抗真菌基因来生产转基因植物,从而赋予其对真菌病原体的抗性。真菌细胞壁降解酶(如几丁质酶和葡聚糖酶)的基因常被用于生产抗真菌的转基因作物。在这篇综述中,我们总结了各种转化研究的细节,以开发农作物的真菌抗性。
