Virus/herbicide resistance genes, processes for producing same and their use

Virus genes, such as coat protein genes, which confer viral resistance or bring about a reduction in the signs of infection by the corresponding virus can be combined with herbicide-resistance genes, such as the phosphinothricin resistance gene, for the transformation of plants. A combination of a v...

Zusammenfassung:Virus genes, such as coat protein genes, which confer viral resistance or bring about a reduction in the signs of infection by the corresponding virus can be combined with herbicide-resistance genes, such as the phosphinothricin resistance gene, for the transformation of plants. A combination of a viral gene and a herbicide-resistance gene facilitates the selection of transgenic plants. In addition, in practical field cultivation, the vitality of the plants is increased by the virus tolerance, and an improved plant protection is possible due to the herbicide resistance gene.
