| Summary: | To determine the resistance to PPV in natural conditions, transgenic plums
(Prunus domestica) carrying the coat protein gene of Plum pox virus (PPV) were established
in the open field in Valencia, Spain in 1997. To assess the environmental impact
that the release of transgenic plums to the field has on the dynamic and
diversity of virus population, the variability of PPV populations present in transgenic
vs. non-transgenic plums was compared. Serological and molecular characterisation
of the PPV isolates from transgenic and non-transgenic plums was
carried out. No differences in the serological or molecular variability of the PPV
populations present in transgenic and non-transgenic plums was detected. The results
of this work could shed light on concerns about potential biological and environmental
risks associated with the liberation of genetically modified plants in the
open field. |
