Selected

to produce the viral-sheath protein

"Konzept" is a placeholder for an entire theory and method for producing resistance. The reference appears cursory and assumes a lot of knowledge on the part of the reader.

My suggestion:
Test for resistance to BNYVV (rhizomania) induced by genetic modification to produce the viral-sheath protein.

http://www.isaaa.org/kc/Global Status/crop/gmsugarbeet/virus...
Sugar beets are genetically modified to contain the gene encoding for the viral-sheath protein of BNYVV. This phenomenon is called "premunition". This enables the beet plant to produce in minute amounts the viral-sheath protein that can prevent or at least attenuate the effects of subsequent infection with related or more aggressive viruses.

sheath protein concept

Declined
My best guess, but hopefully a nudge in the right direction. Lots of Google hits for sheath protein = Hüllprotein, though.
