Abstract
The present invention concerns a nucleic acid molecule capable of expressing, in at least one plant tissue, a chimeric protein comprising a polygalacturonase (PG) of fungal, bacterial or insect origin and a plant polygalacturonase inhibitor protein (PGIP) plant capable of inhibiting said PG. The present invention also relates to transgenic plants that express said chimeric protein.
