Expression of a chimeric gene encoding the coat protein (CP) of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) in transgenic tobacco plants confers resistance to infection by TMV. We investigated the spread of TMV within the inoculated leaf and throughout the plant following inoculation. Plants that expressed the CP gene [CP(+)] and those that did not [CP(-)] accumulated equivalent amounts of virus in the inoculated leaves after inoculation with TMV-RNA, but the CP(+) plants showed a delay in the development of systemic symptoms and reduced virus accumulation in the upper leaves. Tissue printing experiments demonstrated that if TMV infection became systemic, spread of virus occurred in the CP(+) plants essentially as it occurred in the CP(-) plants although at a reduced rate. Through a series of grafting experiments, we showed that stem tissue with a leaf attached taken from CP(+) plants prevented the systemic spread of virus. Stem tissue without a leaf had no effect on TMV spread. All of these findings indicate that protection against systemic spread in CP(+) plants is caused by one or more mechanisms that, in correlation with the protection against initial infection upon inoculation, result in a phenotype of resistance to TMV.
