Abstract excerpt
Nicotiana tabacum plants were transformed with the 57-kDa read-through domain of the replicase gene of Tobacco rattle virus (TRV) isolate SYM. From a total of six lines containing the viral transgene, four displayed various levels of resistance to TRV infection. Transgenic plants from line 81G were highly resistant to foliar rub-inoculation with the homologous isolate, or with isolates TRV-PpK20 and TRV-PLB,...
