Abstract
This invention relates to a method for producing a plant having resistance against RNA viruses by integrating a DNA sequence, which encodes a protein having an enzyme activity specifically breaking down a double-strand RNA, into a chromosome of a plant and making the DNA sequence express in the plant cells; and a plant having resistance against RNA viruses obtained according to the above method. A plant according to the present invention has resistance against plural RNA viruses.

A method for producing a plant having resistance against RNA viruses, comprising integrating a DNA sequence, which encodes a protein having an enzyme activity that specifically cleaves a double-strand RNA, into a chromosome of a plant and making the DNA sequence express in the plant cells.
A plant having resistance to RNA viruses, in which a heterologous DNA sequence, which encodes a protein having an enzyme activity that specifically cleaves a double-strand RNA, is integrated into its chromosome and expressed therein.
