Some plants had high RTSV and RTBV titers while others, surprisingly, hadlow RTSV but high RTBV titers. Based on the ELISA results and visual scores, noneof the test lines recovered at 40 DPI. The average symptom severity (SS) was about 7per line, indicating that most individual plants within a line exhibited stunted growthand leaf discoloration. The 32 remaining lines from ETH were tested using only thegreenhouse virus population and results were similar to those obtained earlier. Noneof the lines showed resistance to RTBV at 20 DPI and plants did not recover after 40DPI (data not presented).Furthermore, none of the lines from JIC showed any promising protection againsteither RTBV or RTSV. Based on ELISA and visual scores, the plants accumulatedRTBV at a level similar to that of the nontransgenic control plants. Generation T1 andT2 plants of the IRI and IRK lines did not show any protection against virus infection(Table 5).42 Azzam et al
