Plant chitinases and its application in resistance to fungal disease

Meng Liang

Abstract

Studies of plant chitinase is a hot point of genetic engineering of plant resistance to diseases recently.Chitinase can hydrolyse chitin,which is the main components of fungal cell walls,and play an important roles in resistance to fun-gal diseases.In this paper,the biological characteristics and gene expression of chitinase were summarizsed,as well as its application in genetic engineering of resistance to fungal diseases was demonstrated.
