'HoneySweet' plum (Prunus domestica) genome sequence

'HoneySweet' is a transgenic plum carrying a gene for the coat protein of plum pox potyvirus as well as other transgenes. The inclusion of the coat protein gene and its arrangement in the plum genome confers a high degree of resistance to plum pox potyvirus through an RNAi mediated response. The goal of the study is to determine the structure of the insertion of the transgenes and potential effect on the whole plum genome.

HoneySweet 品种为转基因李子，携带了李子花叶病毒外壳蛋白基因及其他转基因。外壳蛋白基因的引入及其在李子基因组中的排列布局，通过RNA干扰介导的响应机制，赋予该品种对李子花叶病毒的高度抗性。本研究旨在确定转基因的插入结构及其对整个李子基因组可能产生的影响。
