VIRAL RESISTANCE BY PLANT TRANSFORMATION WITH A REPLICASE PORTION OF A PLANT VIRUS GENOME.

摘要

The present invention describes a method for inducing resistance to plant virus diseases by the transformation of plants susceptible to virus disease with a replicase portion taken from the plant virus genome; the resulting transformed plants, seeds and plants grown from the seeds exhibit resistance to disease brought about by the pathogenic virus from which the replicase portion of the virus genome was used for transformation.
