Research Abstract |
The expression of the candidate Rsdv1 gene, the major Soybean dwarf virus (SbDV) resistance gene derived from the soybean cultivar 'Wilis', was suppressed by virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS). An evaluation method for SbDV resistance was developed, in which SbDV was detected by ELISA instead of symptom observation. This method enabled resistance evaluation of gene-silenced soybean lines whose symptoms of SbDV are not detectable due to the symptoms caused by VIGS. VIGS of the candidate Rsdv1 gene did not significantly change the percentage of SbDV-infected plants, suggesting that VIGS was not suitable for identification of Rsdv1, or that additional neighboring genes were necessary for resistance.
