Expression of tobacco mosaic virus coat protein by a cauliflower mosaic virus promoter in plants transformed by Agrobacterium

RESUMO
The 35S transcript promoter of cauliflower mosaic virus directs the synthesis of an abundant RNA in infected leaf tissue that is both a template for reverse transcription during virus replication and also a polycistronic mRNA. The 35S promoter was isolated and linked to a cDNA of the 3' end of tobacco mosaic virus that encodes the coat protein of this single-stranded RNA virus. After transformation of this gene construction into tobacco plants using a disarmed Agrobacterium binary vector, viral coat protein synthesis was detected in transformed leaf tissue. A chimaeric 35S coat protein RNA was detected in transformed callus.
