✦ Synopsis


For some time, phytoalexins have been inferred to play a role in the resistance of plants to pathogens. Recently, recombinant DNA technology has opened the possibility of introducing foreign phytoalexins into plants and/or modifying endogenous antimicrobial compounds within transgenic plants, resulting in enhanced disease resistance. To date, however, this intriguing strategy has been limited to exploiting only a few phytoalexin biosynthetic genes.
