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.
