title: Transgenic approaches for improving fungal disease resistance in groundnut
ispublished: pub
subjects: s1.3

abstract: Fungal diseases in groundnut are the most significant limiting factor causing more than 50%
yield losses throughout the world. Genetic enhancement in groundnut through conventional breeding
and chemical control has yielded only limited success. More recently, genetic transformation has led
to possibility of transforming crops for increased resistance to fungal diseases. This review summarizes
the advances of genetic engineering applied for improvement of groundnut disease resistance against
fungal pathogens. Fungal resistant transgene of plant, bacterial or fungal origin can be introduced into
groundnut for enhanced disease resistance. Progress in engineering fungal disease resistance in
transgenic ground nut has been accomplished through expression of PR proteins, antifungal proteins,
antimicrobial proteins, ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIP) and phytoalexins.
