    • Patent Title

    • Expression of antimicrobial peptide via the plastid genome to control phytopathogenic bacteria.

    • Abstract

    • This invention provides a novel method to confer disease resistance to plants. Plant plastids are transformed using a plastid vector which contains heterologous DNA sequences coding for a cytotoxic antimicrobial peptide. Transgenic plants are capable of fighting off phytopathogenic bacterial infection.
