Tomato plants transformed with the inhibitor-of-virus-replication gene are partially resistant to Botrytis cinerea.
Tomato plants transformed with a cDNA clone encoding the inhibitor-of-virus-replication (IVR) gene were partially resistant to Botrytis cinerea. This resistance was observed as a significant reduction in the size of lesions induced by the fungus in transgenic plants compared with the lesions on the nontransgenic control plants. This resistance was weakened when plants were kept at an elevated t...
متن کاملStudy on Genetic Diversity of Terminal Fragment Sequence of Isolated Persian Tobacco Mosaic Virus
Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is one of the devastating plant viruses in the world that infects more than 200 plant species. Movement protein plays a supportive role in the movement of other plant viruses, and viral coat protein is highly expressed in infected plants and affects replication and movements of TMV. In order to investigate genetic variation in the terminal fragment sequence in Iranian...
متن کاملTomato and Tobacco Phytoene Desaturase Gene Silencing by Virus-Induced Gene Silencing (VIGS) Technique
Background and Aims: Virus-Induced Gene Silencing (VIGS) is a virus vector technology that exploits antiviral defense mechanism. By infecting plants with recombinant viruses containing host genes inserted in the viral genome, VIGS achieves the RNA silencing process. The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) and tobacco (Nicotiana be...
متن کاملA Novel Protein Elicitor (PeBA1) from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens NC6 Induces Systemic Resistance in Tobacco.
Here we reported a novel protein elicitor from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens NC6 induced systemic resistance (ISR) in tobacco. The purification was executed by ion-exchange chromatography, native-page extraction and HPLC, and the amino acid sequence was identified by mass spectrometry. This recombinant elicitor protein, expressed in Escherichia coli by an E1 expression vector, had good thermal sta...
متن کاملEvidence for RNA-mediated defence effects on the accumulation of Potato leafroll virus.
In plants infected with Potato leafroll virus (PLRV), or other luteoviruses, infection is very largely confined to cells in the vascular system. Even in tobacco plants transformed with PLRV full-length cDNA, in which all mesophyll cells should synthesize infectious PLRV RNA transcripts, only a minority of the mesophyll cells accumulate detectable amounts of virus. We have explored this phenomen...
