CA 2177854

Antimicrobial proteins capable of isolation from seeds of Heuchera or Aesculus show a wide range of antifungal activity and some activity against Gram-positive bacteria. DNA encoding the proteins may be isolated and incorporated into vectors. Plants transformed with this DNA may be produced. The proteins find commercial application as antifungal or antibacterial agents: transformed plants will show increased disease-resistance.

Ces proteínes antimicrobiennes que l'on peut isoler de graines de <u>Heuchera</u> ou <u>Aesculus</u> possèdent une large plage d'activité antifongique ainsi qu'une certaine activité contre les bactéries Gram positif. On peut isoler l'ADN codant ces protéines et l'incorporer dans des vecteurs. On peut ainsi produire des plantes modifiées par cet ADN. Ces protéines trouvent une application commerciale en tant qu'agents antifongiques ou antibactériens, les plantes ainsi modifiées présentant une résistance accrue aux maladies.
