resistance of
N
gene containing tobacco to TMV (Whitham et al. 1994).
Apparently, the
Avr9
gene expressed in PVX can confer avirulence to PVX
on tobacco plants expressing the
Cf-9
gene and the
inf1
gene expressed in
PVX can confer avirulence to PVX on tobacco plants. These results clearly
demonstrates that HR is a highly versatile defense mechanism and can be
active against unrelated pathogens irrespective of the HR-inducing agent
and that resistance to recombinant PVX in tobacco is correlated with the
strength of the transgene-encoded elicitor (Kamoun et al. 1999).
