Abstract

Gladiolus is an important floral crop used world-wide as both a cutflower and planted in the garden. Viruses are a major problem for bulb crops because the plants are propagated each year by bulbs that harbor virus. Genetic engineering for virus resistance could be important for bulb crops such as Gladiolus as there are no virus-resistant cultivars available for breeding. The development of Gladiolus plants with antiviral genes for bean yellow mosaic virus and cucumber mosaic virus are described. Successful genetic engineering for disease resistance requires an appropriate promoter. Gene expression using promoters isolated from various species, including Gladiolus, is described. Although Gladiolus is a monocot, higher levels of gene expression are achieved with dicot-derived, rather than monocot, promoters. The highest levels of gene expression in Gladiolus has occurred using a ubiquitin promoter isolated from Gladiolus.
