Abstract: 
In several plant-pathogen interactions to overcome the barrier represented by cell wall most fungal pathogens produce a variety of hydrolytic enzymes and between them PGs are one of the first to be secreted.
We demonstrate that transgenic wheat plants expressing PvPGIP2 showed a significant reduction of symptoms following the infection of Bipolaris sorokiniana suggesting that pectin hydrolysis is an important step for fungal penetration of wheat plants.

In molti sistemi pianta patogeno i patogeni al fine di superare l’ostacolo rappresentato dalla parete cellulare producono degli enzimi idrolitici tra cui le Poligalatturonasi ( PG) sono tra i primi ad essere secreti.
In questo lavoro dimostriamo che piante transgeniche di frumento sovraesprimenti la PvPGIP2 mostrano una significativa riduzione nella sintomatologia riscontrata in seguito ad infezione con Bipolaris sorokiniana suggerendo che l’idrolisi della pectina rappresenta uno step importante per la penetrazione e la colonizzazione dei tessuti di frumento.
