Abstract excerpt
Transgenic potato plants expressing mutant alleles of PLRV ORF4, the gene for the movement protein pr17 of this luteovirus, were generated for broad-range protection against virus infection. When tested for protection against infection by PLRV, all transgenic lines showed a significant reduction of virus antigen. Potato lines accumulating N- or C-terminally extended PLRV pr17 mutant proteins were resistant to...
