Nicotiana benthamiana plants transformed with the 54-kDa region of the pepper mild mottle tobamovirus replicase gene exhibit two types of resistance responses against viral infection.

Abstract excerpt

Nicotiana benthamiana plants transformed with the 54-kDa region of the pepper mild mottle tobamovirus (PMMV) replicase gene were generated and six independently transformed plant lines were analyzed for resistance to PMMV. Two different resistance responses were obtained. Some of the transgenic plants from only two lines showed a preestablished, complete, and highly resistant phenotype since no viral symptoms...
