Functional Analysis of Durum Wheat GASA1 Protein as a Biotechnological Alternative Against Plant Fungal Pathogens and a Positive Regulator of Biotic Stress Defense by Mohamed Taieb Bouteraa, Walid Ben Romdhane, Alina Wiszniewska, Narjes Baazaoui, Mohammad Y. Alfaifi, Anis Ben Hsouna, Miroslava Kačániová, Stefania Garzoli, Rania Ben Saad

“…Overall, our results indicate that TdGASA1 gene and its encoded protein respond ubiquitously to a range of biotic stimuli and seem to be crucial for the basal resistance of plants against pathogenic fungi. This gene could therefore be a valuable target for genetic engineering to enhance wheat resistance to biotic stress.…”
