Yeast engineered to produce polygalacturonase-inhibiting proteins that inhibit plant fungal diseases [Full subscriber]
Researchers at the University of California – Riverside describe a way to engineer a protein that blocks fungi from breaking down cell walls and produce this protein in quantity for external application as a natural fungicide. The work could lead to a new way of controlling plant disease that reduces reliance on conventional fungicides.… Login to continue
