A)
The
EMS

mutant
B201
is
partially
resistant
to
TMV
.
This
mutant
develops
both
HR
and
mosaic
symptoms
on
the
same
leaf
.
B)
The
fast
-
neutron
induced
mutant
is
susceptible
to
TMV
.
This
mutant
develops
mosaic
symptoms
even
though
it
contains
the
N
transgenes
.

N
resistance
is
inactivated
at
32?C,
which
allows

After

undergo
HR
