Resistance to specific virus diseases may be added as heritable characteristics to susceptible crop cultivars by transformation of the cultivars with specific virus-derived genes. In practice, however, resistance to the virus varies among transformed plants and transformation often changes cultivar yield and quality characteristics that are agronomically important. Therefore, rigorous selection among hundreds of different transformed plant lines is required to identify lines that are both virus resistant and also conform to or exceed standard characteristics of the original, susceptible cultivar. This paper describes methods we have developed for rapid selection of virus resistance, yield, and quality characteristics among transformed populations of plants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
