Journal ArticleDOI
A feature of the coat protein of potato virus X affects both induced virus resistance in potato and viral fitness
TL;DR: Analysis of a series of hybrid and mutant isolates of PVXHB and PVXCP4 which were inoculated to plants and protoplasts of Rx and rx cultivars of potato concludes that elicitation of the resistance is affected by amino acids 121 and 127 of the viral coat protein, with codon 121 being the major determinant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nuclear and plastid transformation of Brassica oleracea var. botrytis (cauliflower) using PEG-mediated uptake of DNA into protoplasts
TL;DR: Protoplast culture and PEG-mediated DNA uptake confirmed the transgenic status of plants regenerated from the protoplast-derived calli, and nuclear and plastid transformation of cauliflower, an important vegetable Brassica, was examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plastid genome characterisation in Brassica and Brassicaceae using a new set of nine SSRs
M. L. Flannery,M. L. Flannery,Fraser J.G. Mitchell,S. Coyne,Tony A. Kavanagh,J. I. Burke,Nicolas Salamin,Nicolas Salamin,P. Dowding,Trevor R. Hodkinson +9 more
TL;DR: A new set of nine primer pairs specifically developed for amplification of Brassica plastid SSR markers are reported and eight out of nine selected SSR loci showed polymorphism when amplified using the new primers and a combined analysis detected variation within and between Brassica species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Homeologous Plastid DNA Transformation in Tobacco Is Mediated by Multiple Recombination Events
Tony A. Kavanagh,Nguyen Duc Thanh,Nga T. Lao,Noreen McGrath,Noreen McGrath,Stefan O. Peter,Eva Horvath,Philip J. Dix,Peter Medgyesy +8 more
TL;DR: Data presented here on the efficiency and features of homeologous plastid DNA recombination are consistent with the existence of an active RecA-mediated, but a diminished mismatch, recombination/repair system in higher-plant plastids.
Journal ArticleDOI
The 25-kDa Movement Protein of PVX Elicits Nb-Mediated Hypersensitive Cell Death in Potato
Isabelle Malcuit,María Rosa Marano,Tony A. Kavanagh,Walter De Jong,A. Forsyth,David C. Baulcombe +5 more
TL;DR: Transient co-expression of the avirulent 25K gene with the β-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene introduced by particle bombardment in resistant and susceptible potato cells confirmed that the elicitor activity provided by the 25-kDa protein did not require other PVX-encoded proteins.
