Abstract
This project will investigate the character of naturally occurring resistance genes effective against pea seed-born mosaic virus and will prepare transformation vectors aimed at generating engineered resistance in pea through the expression of the viral replicase protein. These vectors will be inserted into the pea genome and the transformed plants tested for the specificity of their resistance to challenge viruses. The mechanism of resistance and its relationship to post- transcriptional gene silencing will be investigated.
