Abstract: The resistance to cucumber mosaic virus and the preservation of cultivar properties in transgenic tobacco cv NC89-B line expressing "CMV CP + Satellite RNA" and NC89-T line possessing CMV CP gene were tested under field conditions.The results indicated that the transgenic lines showed much higher resistance than the non-transformed plants.The disease index of the transgenic line B, the best line, averaged about 7.9 and 35.1 in contrast to about 40.6 and 72.5 of the non-transformed NC89 under natural condition and with inoculation of viruses, respectively.The agronomic properties of the transgenic lines improved but showed no genetic variation compared with the non-transformed plants.
