Transgenic tobacco plants expressing the bacterial rnc gene resist virus infection
1997-01-01
Abstract excerpt
A bacterial rnc gene coding for a double-stranded RNA-dependent RNase III endoribonuclease and a mutant, rnc70, were expressed in tobacco plants. The RNase III protein produced in the transgenic plants was the same size as the bacterial protein. Expression of the wild-type gene could cause stunting in some plant lines, but not in others. Expression of the mutant protein did not affect normal growth and development...
