Virus/herbicide resistance genes process for producing same and their use

摘要

New hybrid genes code for virus resistance and herbicide resistance. Also claimed are host cells, plants, plant parts and seeds contg. such hybrid genes. The virus resistance gene codes for a virus coat protein and comprises cDNA derived from the RNA of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) or brome mosaic virus (BMV). The herbicide resistance gene is the Streptomyces viridochromogenes phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (SV PAT) gene.
