[Pleiotropic effects of chitinase gene from Serratia plymuthica in transgenic potato].

We estimate the influence of transgenic bacterial chitinase from soilborne Serratia plymuthica onto agronomical important traits of potato, such as productivity and non-specific resistance. Transgene has been delivered into potato variety Delfin via Agrobacterial transformation with pGreen0229 and pBI121-based vectors. Growth inhibition of chitin-containing pathogenic fungi was shown.
