摘要：Plant transformants having an expressible heterologous gene for an
antimicrobial agent for disease resistance and/or a protein high in limiting essential aminoacid content for enhanced nutritional quality. Monocots, dicots and gymnosperms aregenetically enhanced for disease resistance to express a lytic peptide such as cecropin,attacin or lysozyme, or an antiviral antisense micRNA. The nutritional quality of plantscultivated for food is enhanced by a gene expressing a protein containing 25-60 weightpercent of methionine, lysine, tryptophan, threonine and isoleucine. Methods forobtaining such transformants, novel expressing vectors, novel proteins high in essentialamino acids, and novel lytic peptides are also disclosed.
