'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’是一款转基因李子品种，其基因组携带有李痘马铃薯Y病毒（plum pox potyvirus）外壳蛋白基因以及其他外源转基因。该外壳蛋白基因的导入及其在李子基因组中的整合排布，可通过RNA干扰（RNAi）介导的应答通路赋予李子对李痘马铃薯Y病毒的高度抗性。本研究旨在解析外源转基因的插入结构，及其对李子全基因组的潜在影响。
