Abstract:
Plant expression vector pBI 121 containing the gene encoding coat protein of Plum Pox Virus of the Skierniewice isolate (CP PPV-S) was prepared (clone pCM1). The construct was used for transformation of Nicotiana tabacum plants using an Agrobacterium tumefaciens based system. About 82% of kanamycin resistant plant lines contained a transgene (the sequence of CP PPV-S) but only 81% of them actively expressed the PPV-S coat protein gene as measured by RT-PCR.

Recombinant DNA technology called transgenesis is often used to add a foreign gene or remove a detrimental gene from an organism. Such genetically modified organisms are called transgenic organisms.
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...
