Abstract: Raspberry bushy dwarf virus (RBDV) causes a serious disease in many countries where raspberry crops are grown. Transgenic resistance could help overcome a new threat from resistance-breaking isolates of RBDV. DNA corresponding to the coat protein gene of RBDV has been inserted into a variety of plant expression vectors, which have been used to transform Nicotiana tabacum and N. benthamiana. Plants were grown from seeds harvested from transgenic plants and were challenged by manual inoculation with RBDV. Preliminary results indicate that some lines of plants were resistant to RBDV accumulation. This resistance is being evaluated and the effective construct is being modified to improve the resistance obtained.
