Responses of potato tuber to infection by Fusarium sambucinum Abstract Fusarium sambucinumcauses dry rot in tubers ofSolanum tuberosum. Since relatively little is known about the nature of dry rot disease development, infection ofF. sambucinumon tissue discs prepared from tubers of potato varieties that are susceptible or moderately resistant to this disease was studied. Increases in

Transformation of potato with cucumber peroxidase: Expression and disease response Abstract Peroxidase is thought to be important in a variety of plant defence responses against pathogens. Potato was transformed with a cucumber anionic peroxidase under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter, which is highly expressed in potato tuber tissue. This particular peroxidase
