Method for conferring resistance or tolerance aganist furovirus, potyvirus, tospovirus, and cucomovirus to plant cells

Method for conferring resistance or tolerance aganist furovirus, potyvirus, tospovirus, and cucomovirus to plant cells

The present invention relates to a method to confer resistance or tolerance to more than one virus from the group consisting of furovirus, potyvirus, tospovirus, and cucomovirus, using sense and antisense RNA fragments of a sequence from their genomes. The sense and antisense RNA fragments are capab...

Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a method to confer resistance or tolerance to more than one virus from the group consisting of furovirus, potyvirus, tospovirus, and cucomovirus, using sense and antisense RNA fragments of a sequence from their genomes. The sense and antisense RNA fragments are capable of pairing and forming a double-stranded RNA molecule, thereby reducing expression of the viral genome.
