Abstract
A new and distinct variety of plum is transgenic and is characterized by the presence of the plum pox virus coat protein gene and genes for kanamycin resistance (NPTII) and .beta.-glucuronidase (GUS). The plum pox virus coat protein transgene imparts a high level of resistance to plum pox virus. In field tests, `HoneySweet` has been shown to be immune to transmission of plum pox virus by the natural aphid vectors present at the field test site. When `HoneySweet` is bud-graft inoculated with plum pox virus, it supports only a very low level of virus and is symptomless or shows only transient, very mild symptoms. Fruit of `HoneySweet` is large and sweet, firm and attractive. The tree is productive vigorous, with an upright growth habit.
