Abstract
A resistance-breaking strain of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), Ltb1, is able to multiply in tomatoes with the Tm-2 gene, unlike its parent strain, L. Nucleotide sequence analysis of Ltb1 RNA revealed two amino acid changes in the 30-kD protein: from Cys68 to Phe and from Glu133 to Lys (from L to Ltb1). Strains with these two changes generated in vitro multiplied in tomatoes with the Tm-2 gene and induced essentially the same symptoms as those caused by Ltb1. Strains with either one of the two changes did not overcome the resistance as efficiently as Ltb1, although increased levels of multiplication were observed compared with the L strain. Results showed that both mutations are involved in the resistance-breaking property of Ltb1. Sequence analysis indicated that another resistance-breaking strain and its parent strain had two amino acid changes in the 30-kD protein: from Glu52 to Lys and from Glu133 to Lys. The fact that the amino acid changes occurred in or near the well conserved regions in the 30-kD protein suggests that the mechanism of Tm-2 resistance may be closely related to the fundamental function of the 30-kD protein, presumably in cell-to-cell movement.Keywords
