Abstract

Rx2 confers resistance against potato virus X (PVX). To clone Rx2, we developed a system based on Agrobacterium-mediated transient expression of candidate R genes in transgenic tobacco leaves expressing the PVX coat protein elicitor of Rx2-mediated resistance. Using this system, a potato gene elicit...
