The role of the open reading frame 0 (ORF0) of luteoviruses in the viral infection cycle has not been resolved, although the translation product (p28) of this ORF has been suggested to play a role in host recognition. To investigate the function of the potato leafroll luteovirus (PLRV) p28 protein, transgenic potato plants were produced containing the ORF0. In the lines in which the ORF0 transcripts could be detected by Northern (RNA) analysis, the plants displayed an altered phenotype resembling virus-infected plants. A positive correlation was observed between levels of accumulation of the transgenic transcripts and severity of the phenotypic aberrations observed. In contrast, potato plants transformed with a modified, untranslatable ORF0 sequence were phenotypically indistinguishable from wild-type control plants. These results suggest that the p28 protein is involved in viral symptom expression. Southern blot analysis showed that the transgenic plants that accumulated low levels of ORF0 transcripts detectable only by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, contained methylated ORF0 DNA sequences, indicating down-regulation of the transgene provoked by the putatively unfavorable effects p28 causes in the plant cell.
