The present invention relates to the generation of transgenic plants resistant to infections caused by microorganisms restricted to the phloem, and it comprises the induction of the expression of a chimeric or fusion protein, which comprises a phloem protein of Citrus aurantifolia (CsPP16), a linker protein and a protein with antimicrobial activity; for example, with antibacterial activity or antibacterial hydrolytic enzyme. The portion of the fusion protein corresponding to the CsPP16 protein can exert its function of simplasmic movement, which occurs via the plasmodesmata of the plant to reach the phloem sieve tubes, while the antimicrobial portion can act to eliminate the microorganism, which settles in the phloem. The invention allows controlling the disease that causes the citrus yellowing or Huanglongbing (HLB), also applying to the treatment of other diseases caused by bacteria and other microorganisms that settle in the vascular tissue of higher plants. The invention includes the designed molecular vectors carrying and expressing a fusion protein and the transgenic plants obtained with a stable expression of said fusion protein and the transformation method of adult plants, healthy or diseased, to express the chimeric proteins and controlling, e.g., HLB disease. The transformation of diseased plants with the fusion protein is a method to produce healthy shoots free from the microorganism causing the disease; e.g., free from HLB bacteria.

The invention belongs to the technical field of biotechnology, and relates to a tumor-targeted diagnosis nuclear magnetic resonance contrast agent and a preparation method thereof. The tumor-target diagnosis nuclear magnetic resonance contrast agent is prepared from a high molecular material, polyethylene glycol, a polypeptide, a dual-function ligand and gadolinium chloride by taking the polypeptide as a target head group, taking the tree-like high polymer material as a basic high molecular vector and connecting a small molecular contrast agent to the surface. In the invention, a polypeptide-modified high molecular material screened by using a phage display technology enters cells in an endocytic way, so that the introjection of the contrast agent by tumor cells is increased, and the characteristic of high safety is achieved. The target head group polypeptide used in the invention has the advantages of transferrin, can be used for effectively avoiding the interference of endogenous transferrin, has high targeting and diagnosing efficiencies, is simple to prepare, and can be further applied to target diagnosis of other tumor tissues.

The present invention relates to peptides that bind with high specificity and which functionally interact with the transferrin receptor (“TfR”) and which may be used in making molecular vehicles that carry biomolecules across membranes, including, e.g., across the blood brain barrier or the gastrointestinal tract. TfR specific binding moieties may also be used alone or as components in specific molecules that target the transferrin / transferrin receptor transport system. The invention relates more specifically to VNAR single chain antibodies derived from nurse shark that bind to TfR, compounds and compositions comprising a TfR specific VNAR binding moiety, methods for preparing them, diagnostic and therapeutic methods of use in vitro or in vivo, e.g., to diagnose, treat and / or prevent a pathological condition, disorder or disease in which it is beneficial to deliver a heterologous biomolecule across the blood brain barrier by association with a TfR specific VNAR binding moiety. Other uses for TfR specific VNAR binding moieties of the invention include, e.g., regulating the interaction of iron-charged transferrin with TfR (receptor cycling or cell surface presentation), such as may be therapeutic in treatment of certain cancer cells and tumors of various tissue types.
