Title: Expression of tobacco mosaic virus RNA in transgenic plants. Author: Yamaya J, Yoshioka M, Meshi T, Okada Y, Ohno T. Journal: Mol Gen Genet; 1988 Mar; 211(3):520-5. PubMed ID: 2835637. Abstract: Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is a message-sense, single-stranded RNA virus that infects many Solanaceae plants. A full-length cDNA copy of TMV genomic RNA was constructed and introduced into the genomic DNA of tobacco plants using a disarmed Ti plasmid vector. Transformed plants showed typical symptoms of TMV infection, and their leaves contained infectious TMV particles. This is the first example of the expression of RNA virus genomic RNAs in plants.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
