- Intervention effect Transgenic pepper pvr1(2) expression conferred PVY resistance in potato.
- Method / resource A susceptible potato ortholog was converted into a new PVY-resistance allele by site-directed mutagenesis.
- Observation Resistant lines expressed high eIF4E mRNA and protein levels.
- Observation Resistant potato plants grew similarly to untransformed controls.
- Observation Resistant potato plants produced tubers phenotypically similar to controls.
