Abstract:
The subject invention concerns materials and methods for providing disease and pathogen resistance to a plant. Transformed or transgenic rootstock of a plant with genetically engineered resistance to a plant pathogen, such as a viral pathogen, is grafted onto a compatible non-transgenic plant tissue, e.g., a scion compatible with the rootstock. The non-transgenic portion of the grafted plant is provided with resistance to the plant pathogen. The subject invention also concerns a plant comprising a transformed or transgenic rootstock having resistance to a plant pathogen grafted onto a compatible non-transgenic plant tissue.
