MUTATED EIF4E SEQUENCES FROM POTATO WHICH ARE USEFUL IN IMPARTING VIRUS RESISTANCE

摘要

A nucleic acid molecule encoding a mutant form of wild-type translationinitiation factor elF4E is disclosed Amu-tation comprising one or more of I70N, 170E, L82R, DI12N, L48F, S68K, A77Dor MI09I in SEQ ID NO 1 imparts virusresis-tance to potato Nucleic acid constructs, expression vectors, cells,plants, and plant seeds containing the nucleic acid sequence arealso disclosed, as are methods of imparting virus resistance to plants
