Cooperative roles of introns 1 and 2 of tobacco resistance gene N in enhanced N transcript expression and antiviral defense responses

Abstract The tobacco virus resistance gene N contains four introns. Transient expression of transcripts from an N transgene containing these introns and driven by the native promoter in the presence of the elicitor of tobacco mosaic virus resulted in its increased expression. The requirement of the...
