Abstract: A method of selecting genetically transformed cells from a population of cells comprising introducing a desired nucleotide sequence and a co-introduced nucleotide sequence into the genome of a cell whereby the desired nucleotide sequence or the co-introduced nucletoide sequence induces a positive effect by giving the transformed cells a competitive advantage when the population of cells are supplied with an inactive compound thereby allowing the transformed cells to be identified and selected from the non-transformed cells by means defined as positive selection; as well as cells transformed according to the method and plants derived therefrom. The invention further relates to novel glucuronide compounds including cytokinin glucuronide compounds for use in the method.

Abstract: DNA constructs encoding an RNA molecule capable of interacting with an RNA dependent RNA polymerase encoded for by a virus when invading a plant such that either an eliciting element or a plus sense RNA is produced as a consequence of the interaction with the RNA dependent RNA polymerase encoded by the said invading virus, whereby any produced plus sense RNA molecule is capable of encoding for an eliciting element, plants containing such constructs and processes for obtaining such plants.

Abstract: A nucleotide sequence comprising a transcriptional regulatory sequence and a sequence contiguous therewith and under the transcriptional control thereof, which contiguous sequence encodes an RNA which consists of a plurality of sub-sequences, characterized in that at least two of the sub-sequences have the sequences of viral RNAs and the RNA contains at least one translational stop codon located upstream of the 3' terminal sub-sequence. It is preferred that at least one of the sub-sequences is in an anti-sense configuration with respect to virus RNA, and that the contiguous sequence encodes mRNA. The invention also includes, inter alia, the use of such a sequence in the generation of virus resistant or tolerant plants, and such plants comprising the sequence.
