Abstract: A bivalent plant expressing vector carrying TMV cp and CMV cp and CMV cp has been constructed. Transgenic plants resistant to kanamycin have been obtained from to pepper cultivars, Nong da40 and Xiangyan no.1, based on the high efficient pepper gene transformation protocol established previously. The results of molecular assay indicated that sixteen plants presented positive dot blot signals with two of which presented negative PCR signals. The results of leaf surface virus inoculation test indicated that even plants presented immunity to TMV and CMV.

Key words: Double resistance, TMV, CMV, Transgenic pepper plants
