Abstract excerpt
Transgenic tobacco plants expressing the wild-type (wt) coat protein (CP) gene of alfalfa mosaic virus (AIMV) have been shown to be resistant to infection with viral particles and RNAs or to infection with viral particles only. The difference in resistance of these plants to RNA inocula was found to correlate with a difference in the expression level of the transgene. Plants expressing a mutant AIMV CP with the...
