Abstract

In a previous project (PG208/641) we characterised the cell biological pathways leading to virus seed transmission in pea and partially characterised the genetic factors in the host and virus controlling resistance to seed transmission. In this project we will exploit this information in two ways: 1) attempt to engineer resistance to pea seed borne mosaic virus seed transmission through transgenic expression of the virus resistance determinant in pea, and 2) use an alternative genetic analysis to obtain a clearer picture of the host genes affecting virus seed transmission.
