Pleiotropic effects of chitinase gene from Serratia plymuthica> in transgenic potato

Shakhbazau A.V., Yakovleva G.A., Rodkina I.A., Kartel N.A.

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. However, over 40 % of transgenic lines demonstrated decreased non-specific resistance to late blight (down to 62 % compared to control genotype), as well as 40–60 % productivity drop.
