ABSTRACT:
A method for inhibiting the growth and/or germination of a fungus that is susceptible to an osmotin protein by contacting the fungus, or causing the fungus to be contacted with, an effective amount of an osmotin protein. The fungus can be, for example, a plant pathogenic fungus, such as an Oomycete. In one embodiment of the invention, the effective amount of the osmotin protein is produced by a plant having incorporated into its genome a chimeric gene having a) an open reading frame encoding the osmotin protein, or a precursor of the osmotin protein, and having operably linked thereto b) a regulatory region which causes the chimeric gene to be expressed in the plant.
