The resistance of transgenic tomato plants containing genes of chitin-binding proteins from Amaranthus caudatus (ac) and A. retraflexus (RS-intron-Shir) and hevein-like antimicrobial peptides (amp1 and amp2) from Stellaria media is analyzed. Lines expressing genes ac, amp1, and amp2 are characterized, unlike the untransformed control, by enhanced resistance to a isolate Phytophthora infestans obtained from potato leaves.
