Multiple virus resistance in transgenic plants conferred by the human dsRNA-dependent protein kinase

2002-01-01

Abstract excerpt

We have developed a new strategy for engineering resistance to multiple viruses in plants. The strategy exploits the human double stranded (ds) RNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR). PKR is one of the interferon-induced enzymes. It confers viral resistance in mammals by inhibiting viral replication through the inactivation of the translational initiation factor, eIF-2alpha was fused to the promoter of the Arabidopsis...
