| 1 | Transgenic cucumber plants resistant to several viruses | Amit Gal-On (Leader) Aaron Zelcer Yeheskal Antignus Victor Gaba Dalia Wolf Diana Liebman |
2000 - 2006 | We generated in homozygote commercial cucumber resistant to several important viruses: resistance was verified by various inoculation methods in the greenhouse | Cucumber | Zucchini yellow mosaic virus Cucumber fruit mottle mosaic virus Cucumber vein yellowing virus Cucurbit yellow stunting disorder virus |
Cucumis sativus | transgenic resistance |
| 2 | Expression of protein and peptides via attenuated virus vector | Amit Gal-On (Leader) | 1998 - 2006 | We expressed many genes via ZYMV vector: some genes benefitial to agriculture were field tested, and some highly valued proteins were partially purified from the plant. We also succeeded to use this vector for epitope presentation to raise specific antibodies in chicks. We are now studying the use of this vector for gene silencing. | Musk melon Squash |
Zucchini yellow mosaic virus | Cucumis melo Citrullus lanatus |
ZYMV-AG |
| 3 | Potyvirus resistance | Victor Gaba (Leader) Amit Gal-On Arieh Rosner |
2003 - 2006 | We have produced a transgenic tobacco line with a 600bp inverted repeat from the PVY replicase gene that is very resistant to the homologous virus, and sequence-related virus cultures. The resistance is strong against less related PVY strains, but breaks eventually. | Tobacco | Potato virus Y | Nicotiana tabacum | |
| 4 | Helper component HC-Pro as a key potyvirus symptom expression determinant | Amit Gal-On (Leader) | 2003 - 2006 | Potyvirus Zucchini yellow mosaic virus Potato virus Y Turnip mosaic virus Papaya ringspot virus |
Cucurbitaceae Nicotiana benthamiana Arabidopsis thaliana |
