Abstract
Antibacterial polypeptide gene Cccropin B or Shiva was introduced into six Chinese potato cultivars by Agrobacterium-madiated gene transfer. Totally 299 transgenic plants were obtained. The integration of foreign gene was confirmed by PCR-Dot blot assay. Preliminary results showed that some transgenic lines were resistant to bacterial will after inoculation with mild or severe strain of dominant Race 3 of Pseudomonas solanacearum in China.
