摘要:
A method of activating the rice tungro bacilliform virus (RTBV) promoter in vivo is disclosed. The RTBV promoter is activated by exposure to at least one protein selected from the group consisting of Rf2a and Rf2b.
摘要:
The invention describes methods for producing plant resistance to a ssDNA virus, particularly a geminivirus such as mastrevirus, curtovirus or begomovirus. The method comprises introducing a ssDNA-binding protein of the Inoviridae virus into the plant, and includes a phage coat protein, particularly, a coliphage gene 5 protein. The invention also describes a transgenic plant comprising a gene that expresses the ssDNA-binding protein and vectors for expressing the protein in plants.
摘要:
The invention relates to compositions and methods useful for the production of transgenic plants. In particular, the invention relates to cassava vein mosaic virus (CsVMV) promoter sequences and expression cassettes containing CsVMV promoter sequences. The invention describes nucleic acid molecules, vectors and transgenic plants containing promoters derived from CsVMV promoter that are operatively linked to heterologous DNA sequences, and methods for producing transgenic plants containing these promoters.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the methods and nucleic acid compositions for the production of transgenic plants resistant to virus infection. In particular, it relates to transgenic plants comprising nucleotide sequences encoding dysfunctional viral movement protein (dMP) genes.
摘要:
The invention involves recombinant, double-stranded DNA that contains a promoter which functions in plant cells to cause the production of RNA sequences of a plant virus, a DNA sequence that causes the production of an RNA sequence encoding the coat protein of said plant virus, and a 3′ non-translated region which functions in plant cells to cause the addition of polyadenylated nucleotides to the 3′ end of said RNA sequence; which double-stranded DNA can be used in a method for genetically transforming plants to produce genetically transformed plant cells and plants that are resistant to virus infection.
摘要:
A genome length transcript promoter from a badnavirus, rice tungro bacilliform virus (RTBV), is disclosed and its DNA sequence provided. This promoter drives expression specifically in vascular tissues of plants. This promoter sequence may be utilized in a chimeric gene to drive the tissue specific expression of a foreign structural gene in vascular tissue of transgenic plants.
