In this study we cloned a chitinase gene (), from isolated from the corpse of a lepidopteran, which is an important sugarcane pest. The chitinase gene amplified from the genome was cloned into the transformation vector p2X35SChiC and used to transform tobacco ( L. cv Petit Havana SR1). The resistance of these transgenic plants to the necrotrophic fungus and to the pest was evaluated: both the activity of chitinase as well as the resistance against and was significantly higher in transgenic plants compared to the wild-type.
在这项研究中,我们从鳞翅目昆虫尸体中克隆了一个几丁质酶基因(),该昆虫是甘蔗的重要害虫。从基因组中扩增的几丁质酶基因被克隆到转化载体 p2X35SChiC 中,并用于转化烟草(L. cv Petit Havana SR1)。评估了这些转基因植物对坏死真菌和鳞翅目害虫的抗性:与野生型相比,转基因植物的几丁质酶活性以及对和的抗性均显著提高。
