ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to isolated nucleic acids encoding plant defensins. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a portion of the plant defensin, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of plant defensins in a transformed host cell.
