Three synthetic genes for the production of anti-sense RNA to different regions of the cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) genome were constructed using virus-derived double-stranded cDNA coupled to a promoter sequence from cauliflower mosaic virus. The genes were used to transform tobacco plants by a Ti plasmid vector. Transgenic plants obtained with the three constructs produced anti-sense RNA at different levels. Plants expressing each of the three anti-sense RNAs were inoculated with CMV and their sensitivity to the virus infection was compared with the non-transformed plants. Only one plant line which expressed relatively low levels of one of the anti-sense RNAs showed resistance to CMV but other plants expressing the same or the other two antisense RNAs had similar sensitivity to CMV infection as the non-transformed plants.
构建了三个用于生产黄瓜花叶病毒(CMV)基因组不同区域反义 RNA 的合成基因,该基因使用病毒衍生的双链 cDNA 与来自花椰菜花叶病毒的启动子序列连接。利用 Ti 质粒载体将基因转化为烟草植物。用三种构建体获得的转基因植物以不同水平表达反义 RNA。用 CMV 接种表达三种反义 RNA 中的每一种的植物,并将它们对病毒感染的敏感性与非转化植物进行比较。只有一条表达相对低水平的一种反义 RNA 的植物系表现出对 CMV 的抗性,但表达相同或其他两种反义 RNA 的其他植物对 CMV 感染的敏感性与非转化植物相似。
