Abstract excerpt
The N gene in Nicotiana sp. confers hypersensitive resistance to all strains of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and limits the rate of virus spread in infected leaves. To examine the role of the movement protein (MP) of TMV in the hypersensitive reaction (HR), transgenic Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi-nc (genotype NN) plants that express the MP gene were produced and the molecular size exclusion limit of plasmodesmata...
