A plant-derived vaccine against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is disclosed. The vaccine includes an immunogenic complex that includes plant cells transformed with a chimeric gene containing a nucleotide sequence adapted for protein expression in plants and an RSV coding sequence that encodes an antigenic protein of RSV. Also disclosed are methods of making the plant-derived vaccine of the invention, as well as transgenic plants, transgenic plant cells, and nucleic acid constructs useful in immunizing a mammal against RSV.

Plant-derived vaccines against respiratory syncytial virus

A new apple variety distinguished by the following unique combination of characteristics: It is field-immune to apple scab disease, has good resistance to the bacterial disease fire blight, and moderate resistance to the fungal disease powdery mildew. This new apple is relatively late ripening. It has medium-large fruit size, red colored fruit, with excellent flavor (full favored, fruity, sweet, mild-subacid). The fruit hangs well on the tree, even after ripening. The tree is highly productive on an annual basis.

Apple tree named 'Co-op 31'

A new apple variety distinguished by resistance to apple scab; crisp flesh and excellent dessert quality; attractive color (almost completely red); ripens in the middle of September in West Lafayette, Ind.; size varies from 2.75 to 3 inches in diameter; and good storage ability (can be stored up to six months at 1&#xb0; C.).

Apple tree named 'CO-OP 39'

This invention is a new and distinct cultivar of apple tree ( Borkh.). The tree is a seedling of known parentage planted in May 1973 at the Clark Farm in West Lafayette, Ind., in the L Block, Row 20, Tree 41. When selected, it had the designation PRF 2714-4 in the breeding records and was tested under the designation &ldquo;Co-op 25&rdquo;.

Apple tree named 'Co-op 25'

This invention is a new and distinct cultivar of apple tree (Malus Xdomestica Borkh). It was discovered in the course of an attempt to develop improved apple cultivars with high fruit quality and resistance to Venturia inaequalis (Cke.) Wint., the casual agent of the scab disease of apple. The tree is a seedling of known parentage planted in Apr. 15,1975 in the HF Block of an apple breeding orchard on the Hinsley tract of the Purdue Horticulture Research Farm, West Lafayette, Ind., in row 34. Because the trees in this row were spaced very closely its tree number was not recorded. When selected it had the designation PRI 2946-1 in the breeding records and was tested under the designations HFRow 34 and Co-op 32.

Apple tree `Co-op 32`

The cultivar of the present invention, designated `Co-op 30`, is a new and distinct cultivar of apple Tree (Malus.times.domestica Borkh.). It was discovered in October of 1978 at West Lafayette, Ind., in the course of an attempt to develop improved apple cultivars with high fruit quality and resistance to Venturia inaequalis (Cke.) Wint., the causal agent of the scab disease of apple. The tree is a seedling of known parentage planted in May of 1972 in the CL Block of the apple breeding orchard on the old Clark Farm tract of the Purdue Horticulture Research Farm, West Lafayette, Ind. In the above mentioned block, its position was Row 4, Tree 38, having the designation PRI 2693-1 in the breeding records.
