The technics of breeding a new transgenic tobacco cultivar resistant to mosaic diseases and its extention

This paper reports a new transgenic tobacco line NC89 resistant to both tobaccomosaic virus(TMV)and cucumber mosaic virus(CMV).It deals with the details of field experi-ments of the whole process of segregation and selection of the progenies of transgenic plant popu-lation.By using the gene transfer technics,some transgenic plants resistant to mosaic disease froma flue-cured tobacco cultivar NC89 were obtained in green house in 1989.Thereafter,throughfield inoculation and selection from the 2nd and 3rd generations,a homozygous line resistant toboth viruses and with good qualities was bred out.The inheretant stability of the resistance of thenew line was confirmed through the 4th to 6th generations.In 1992,the transgenic resistant linewas planted about 7000 hectares in Henan province.The relative effect of controlling mosaic dis-eases of tobacco was 50—70%.The out-put value increased 30—50% per unit area.This is a newexample of growing a transgenic virus-resistant Plant in large scale in China.

烟草抗花叶病新品系“转墓因NC89”选育技术的研究

本文报导了国内首例抗烟草花叶病毒（ＴＭＶ）和黄瓜花叶病毒（ＣＭＶ）的转基因双抗烟草新品系的选育方法，获得了具有抗ＴＭＶ和ＣＭＶ的双抗优质新品系。在新品系第４—６代的田间试验中，验证了其抗病毒特性的遗传稳定性；与对照品种ＮＣ８９在农艺性状、品质和烘烤特性等方面进行比较，证明转基因抗病新品系除抗病性显著增强外，其它特性均略优于原ＮＣ８９良种。１９９２年在河南省示范推广６６６７ｈｍ~２，转基因抗病新品系对烟草花叶病的相对控制效果为５０％－７０％，防病增产的经济效益显著。
