The coat protein (CP) gene of potato leafroll luteovims (PLRV) was inserted into tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) using disarmed Agrobacterium tumefaciens (LBA4404) containing a binary expression vector. PLRV CP gene transcript was detected in transgenic plants but its abundance differed between transfor

β¦ Synopsis
Transgenic potato plants, cultivar D6sir6e, were produced that contained the coat protein gene of potato leafroll luteovirus (PLRV). The transformed potato plants expressed the PLRV coat protein (CP) RNA sequences but accumulation of coat protein in transgenic tissues could not be detected. Upon inoculation with PLRV, the PLRV CP RNA expressing potato plants showed a reduced rate of virus multiplication.

The gene for human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) was chemically synthesized and used for expression in transgenic potato. The hEGF coding sequence was modified by PCR to introduce ATG start codon and fused either to the 35S cauliflower mosaic virus promoter or to the patatin class I promoter. The h
A genomic clone encoding the potato homolog of the yeast ubiquitin-ribosomal protein fusion gene ubi3 was isolated and characterized. Chimeric genes containing the ubi3 promoter (920 bp of 5' to the ubiquitin start codon) were constructed in which the reporter gene/~-glucuronidase (GUS) was either f
