A method for producing a transgenic plant with resistance to the bacterial pathogen, Xylella fastidiosa, said method comprising:
- transforming a plant cell of the genus Vitis with a nucleic acid molecule which expresses a lytic peptide, wherein expression of said lytic peptide provides resistance to the bacterial pathogen, Xylella fastidiosa.
A transgenic plant cell of the genus Vitis transformed with a nucleic acid molecule which expresses a lytic peptide, wherein expression of said lytic peptide provides resistance to the bacterial pathogen, Xylella fastidiosa.
A transgenic plant of the genus Vitis transformed with a nucleic acid molecule which expresses a lytic peptide, wherein expression of said lytic peptide provides resistance to the bacterial pathogen, Xylella fastidiosa.
