We previously established an in vitro transcription system which can produce infectious tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) RNAs from cDNA templates [(1986) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 83, 5043-5047]. Here we report a useful system for the infection of tobacco protoplasts with a small amount of infectious RNAs, like in vitro transcripts from cDNA templates, involving an improved electroporation method. This system will facilitate the elucidation of the functions of the genomic RNA and its coding proteins using in vitro manipulated TMV-RNAs.
