Transgenic tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) expressing cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) satellite RNA fused to a gene for β-glucuronidase were produced using Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The R1 progeny of self-crossed R0 plants were challenge-inoculated with virion or RNA preparations of CMV or tomato aspermy virus (TAV). The transgenic plants challenged with CMV-1 showed mild disease symptoms in the first 2 weeks postchallenge followed by a decrease in symptoms, resulting in little difference between the transgenic and uninfected control group by the fourth week. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay results showed about a 10-fold decrease in virus accumulation in the transgenic plants compared to controls. Tolerance was evident only in plants that contained the recombinant insert and produced mature unit-length satellite RNA after CMV infection. Plants challenged with TAV showed no significant tolerance to virus-induced symptoms.

Transgenic tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. UC82) plants expressing a benign variant of Cucumber mosaic virus satellite RNA (CMV Tfn-satRNA) were generated. The transformed plants did not produce symptoms when challenged with a satRNA-free strain of CMV (CMV-FL). The same plant lines initially were susceptible to necrosis elicited by a CMV strain supporting a necrogenic variant of satRNA (CMV-77), but a phenotype of total recovery from the necrosis was observed in the newly developing leaves. The features of the observed resistance were analyzed and are consistent with two different mechanisms of resistance. In transgenic plants inoculated with CMV-FL strain, the symptomless phenotype was correlated to the down-regulation of CMV by Tfn-satRNA, amplified from the transgene transcripts, as the first resistance mechanism. On the other hand, the delayed resistance to CMV-77 in transgenic tomato lines was mediated by a degradation process that targets satRNAs in a sequence-specific manner. Evidence is provided for a correlation between a reduced accumulation level of transgenic messenger Tfn-satRNA, the accumulation of small (approximately 23 nucleotides) RNAs with sequence homology to satRNAs, the progressively reduced accumulation of 77-satRNA in infected tissues, and the transition in infected plants from diseased to healthy. Thus, events leading to the degradation of satRNA sequences indicate a role for RNA silencing as the second mechanism determining resistance of transgenic tomato lines.

Transgenic tomato plants expressing wild-type or mutated BV1 or BC1 movement proteins from Bean dwarf mosaic virus (BDMV) were generated and examined for phenotypic effects and resistance to Tomato mottle virus (ToMoV). Fewer transgenic plants were recovered with the wild-type or mutated BC1 genes, compared with the wild-type or mutated BV1 genes. Transgenic tomato plants expressing the wild-type or mutated BV1 proteins appeared normal. Interestingly, although BDMV induces only a symptomless infection in tomato (i.e., BDMV is not well adapted to tomato), transgenic tomato plants expressing the BDMV BC1 protein showed a viral disease-like phenotype (i.e., stunted growth, and leaf mottling, curling, and distortion). This suggests that the symptomless phenotype of BDMV in tomato is not due to a host-specific defect in the BC1 protein. One transgenic line expressing the BC1 gene did not show the viral disease-like phenotype. This was associated with a deletion in the 3′ region of the gene, which resulted in expression of a truncated BC1 protein. Several R0 plants, expressing either wild-type or mutated BV1 or BC1 proteins, showed a significant delay in ToMoV infection, compared with non-transformed plants. R1 progeny plants also showed a significant delay in ToMoV infection, but this delay was less than that in the R0 parents. These results also demonstrate that expression of viral movement proteins, in transgenic plants, can have deleterious effects on various aspects of plant development.
