Abstract

The gene coding for a fungal endopolygalacturonase inhibitor (PGIP) is cloned and sequenced from both Phaseolus vulgaris genomic and cDNA libraries. The PGIP amino acid sequence, vectors comprising the PGIP gene or parts thereof, and cells transformed by said vecors are also disclosed. This isolated sequences are useful to transform plants, which are sensitive to fungi or microorganism pathogen activities, into plants producing the PGIP protein.
