摘要
Apple (Malus domestica) transgenic T1 was obtained by Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of Malling 26 rootstock using the plasmid binary vector pLDB15.pLDB15 contains within its T-DNA a gene encoding the lytic protein attacin E. The integration of the attacin E gene into the apple genome was confirmed by Southern analysis. Northern analysis indicated the presence of an attacin E mRNA in plants inoculated with Erwinia amylovora. After inoculation of in vitro grown plants of T1, Malling 26, and Malling 7 (resistant control) with E amylovora, the log(10) of the inoculum concentration lethal to 50% of the plants was 5.4, 4.4, and 5.6, respectively. In greenhouse trials for resistance to fire blight, T1 was significantly more resistant than 'Malling 26'.
