Enhanced Tolerance against a Fungal Pathogen and Insect Resistance in Transgenic Tobacco Plants Overexpressing an Endochitinase Gene from <i>Serratia marcescens</i>

Enhanced Tolerance against a Fungal Pathogen and Insect Resistance in Transgenic Tobacco Plants Overexpressing an Endochitinase Gene from <i>Serratia marcescens</i>

In this study we cloned a chitinase gene (<i>SmchiC</i>), from <i>Serratia marcescens</i> isolated from the corpse of a <i>Diatraea magnifactella</i> lepidopteran, which is an important sugarcane pest. The chitinase gene <i>SmchiC</i> amplified from th...
