The present invention include a recombinant BMYV P0 viral nucleotide sequence, which when transcribed in a cell, is capable of forming a double stranded self-complementary RNA sequence. The invention is related to a method for conveying viral resistance or tolerance to one or more virus(es), in particular to beet mild yellowing virus (BMYV) and to beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) or to BMYV alone in a plant, in particular in a sugar beet plant. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the virus-resistant or -tolerant plant obtained according to this method, as well as to seeds and progeny derived therefrom.
A RNA construct comprising a sense segment and an antisense segment, wherein said sense segment and said antisense segment both comprise a nucleotide fragment having at least 95% of sequence identity with at least 20 consecutive nucleotides of Beet Mild Yellowing Virus (BMYV) P0 gene or an ortholog of the BMYV P0 gene, wherein the BMYV P0 gene is as set forth in SEQ ID NO:
