Abstract excerpt
Transgenic plants harboring various plant virus sequences have shown resistance to viral infections. An environmental risk associated with the use of these plants is the possibility of forming a novel virus by recombination between challenging viruses and transgenic viral mRNA. Two experiments were designed using tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) vectors and transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana to determine if recombinant...
