Abstract
Isolated DNA molecules encoding an AlyAFP antifungal polypeptide from Alyssum are disclosed. The isolated DNA molecules comprise the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:12 or encode the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2. Also disclosed are vectors and transgenic plants comprising said DNA molecules and a method for reducing fungal damage in a plant with said DNA molecule. The isolated DNA molecules may be used to prepare transgenic plants that exhibit reduced damage from fungi as compared to non-transgenic plants. The isolated DNA molecules may be used in combination with additional nucleic acid sequences encoding anti-fungal or anti-insect proteins or polypeptides.
