Patents
The invention provides a wound inducible expression construct and a method of its preparation. The invention provides a methods for isolation of an early wound inducible promoter that is activated within 5 minutes of any form of wounding (mechanical or biological) and a process of making transgenic plants in which expression of GUS/Insecticidal protein is regulated by Promoter (I.D.1) in a wound inducible manner for local expression of a chimeric gene used in this method and plants obtained thereby, and to the process for obtaining resistance to insect feeding.
