초록

Transgenic Nicotiana benthmiana plants harboring and expressing coat protein (CP) gene of Zucchini green mottle mosaic virus (ZGMMV) were generated for both virus-resistant screening and complementation analysis of related viruses and environmental safety assessment (SA) of living modified organism (LMO) purposes. Transformation of leaf disc of N. benthamiana was performed using Agrobacterium-mediated method and the pZGCPPGA748 containing the ZGMMV CP and NPTII genes. Two kinds of transgenic homozygous groups, virus-resistant and -susceptible lines, were obtained by screening of challenging homologous virus for T1 generations. Complementation of CP-deficient related virus was analyzed using the susceptible line of ZGMMV. These two pathologically different lines can be useful for host-virus interactions and LMO environmental SA.
