VIRUS RESISTANT PLANTS EXPRESSING ANIMAL CELL-DERIVED (2'-5') OLIGOADENYLATE SYNTHETASE AND RIBONUCLEASE L AND A METHOD FOR CREATING THESAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for creating a plant having resistance to RNA viruses, comprising incorporating a DNA sequence encoding an animal cell-derived (2'-5') oligoadenylate synthetase and a DNA sequence encoding an animal cell-derived ribonuclease L into a chromosome(s) of the plant and expressing the DNA sequences, as well as plants created by the above method. The present invention is widely applicable to the breeding of virus resistant plant varieties.
