  • Transgenic pathogen-resistant plant
    Patent number: 6271438
    Abstract: Transgenic pathogen-resistant organism whose genome contains at least two different genes under the control of active promoters with pathogen-inhibiting action. This organism is distinguished by a synergistic pathogen-inhibiting action. This action is evident particularly when the genes code for the gene products chitinese (ChiS, ChiG), glucanase (GluG), protein synthesis inhibitor (PSI) and antifungal protein (AFR).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 24, 1998
    Date of Patent: August 7, 2001
    Inventors: Jürgen Logemann, Guido Jach, Birgit Görnhardt, John Mundy, Jeff Schell, Peter Eckes, Ilan Chet
