AI-generated Abstract
The study presents NmDef02, a novel antimicrobial gene isolated from Nicotiana megalosiphon, which significantly enhances pathogen resistance in transgenic plants. Evaluation in greenhouse and field conditions indicates that plants expressing NmDef02 demonstrate increased resistance to key pathogens, such as Phytophthora infestans and Alternaria solani, showcasing its potential for improving disease resistance in crops.
